A man convicted of assaulting a child tried to flee a courthouse in Maine but two jurors and a detective quickly foiled the escape attempt.

Nicholas Carter, 31, on Wednesday ran out of the courthouse in Skowhegan while handcuffed. He had been found guilty of aggravated assault against a 14-month-old child, according to the Portland Press Herald.

A series of videos shows Carter racing down a hallway in the courthouse while still in handcuffs and dodging an individual who attempted to block him. He can then be seen fleeing the courthouse, chased by several other individuals.

A Maine man caught on camera running away from court in handcuffs has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for assaulting a toddler.

Nicholas Carter of Fairfield made headlines earlier this month when he ran out of the Somerset County Courthouse in Skowhegan in handcuffs after a jury convicted him of aggravated assault against a 14-month-old boy.

The Morning Sentinel reports the Carter’s victim, who is now four, has undergone three brain surgeries, suffers vision loss in one eye, and has spent years in therapy.

Carter could serve an additional 10 years if he violates his probation after he's released.
