Seven of the ten prisoners who escaped from a prison in New Orleans in the US state of Louisiana on Friday are still at large. The prisoners climbed out through a hole in a wall behind a toilet.

The FBI agent Jonathan Trapp announces that the reward for tips leading to arrests is increased from 5,000 dollars to 10,000 dollars per intern.

The nighttime escape took place by the men fleeing through a wall opening behind a toilet and climbing over a fence with the aid of blankets to avoid cutting themselves on barbed wire. Thereafter, they are said to have sprinted across a motorway.
