Los Angeles police Wednesday shot and wounded a man who had escaped from custody during an examination at USC’s sprawling medical campus in Boyle Heights, authorities said. The man, identified as Freddy Bailon, 36, was hospitalized and undergoing medical treatment after the shooting, according to LAPD Det. At some point during the medical visit, he broke free from police and ran from the building, Aguilar said. At some point, one officer shot the man, Aguilar said. The man had been handcuffed at one point during the medical visit, Aguilar said, but it’s unclear if he was handcuffed when he escaped.
