CALGARY — A prisoner waiting to be sentenced in a Calgary courtroom escaped and tried to carjack a woman’s vehicle. Court officials say the man jumped over the prisoner’s box on Thursday, ran down a set of stairs and went out an emergency exit to the street below. He ran a block west of the building where he attempted to carjack a woman’s vehicle. The woman fought him off and then sheriffs and police officers caught up with him. Alberta Justice has not released the name of the prisoner and says a review of the incident will take place.
