After being convicted of aggravated assault against a 14-month-old child in a courthouse in Skowhegan, Maine, Nicholas Carter, 31, attempted to flee the building while handcuffed. He was quickly pursued by two jurors and a detective who managed to apprehend him in a nearby yard after a chase across a parking lot. Video footage captured Carter running down a hallway, dodging obstacles, and eventually tripping and falling before being caught. The escape attempt occurred following a three-day trial at the Somerset County Superior Courthouse. Carter’s sentencing for the aggravated assault conviction is forthcoming in the coming weeks. The incident highlights the determination of those involved in upholding justice and ensuring that individuals are held accountable for their actions.
