MANAMA,- Checkpoints were set up with police enforcement in some parts of Bahrain on Sunday after six men accused of murder and hurling Molotov at a police station escaped while they were being transferred to court.
During the High Criminal Court hearing, police officers told the judges that the suspects escaped as they were being brought to the court.
The police were still tracking down the suspects on the run, while there were also online reports that a car crashed into the bus transporting the prisoners from Dry Dock prison.
The six men were arrested after attacking Sitra police station with firebombs in August last year and also accused of attempted murder, arson, and possessing Molotov cocktails.
