A VIOLENT Brit inmate has reportedly escaped a Portuguese jail in a mass prison break.
Authorities have confirmed Mark Roscaleer – serving nine years for kidnap and robbery – is on the run along with five other men.
The prisoners, two Portuguese, two Romanians and a British man, were seen escaping through the wall that protects the prison using leaders – and were caught on the prison’s CCTV cameras.
Portuguese authorities have described all five men as “dangerous” and warned members of the public not to approach them.
One is reported to have used to have a firearm against police before he was incarcerated.
An investigation into the embarrassing prison break, linked to a lack of guards, is ongoing.
