The prisoner who escaped from the district court in Regensburg is still on the run.

This was confirmed by a police spokesman on Friday morning on request.

In the meantime, the man is also being searched for internationally.

So far, 25 tips have been received from the population, but there is still no hot lead, said the Oberpfalz police headquarters on Friday in Regensburg.

The 40-year-old jumped out of a window in a lawyer's room on the first floor of the courthouse on Thursday and fled.

According to the police, it is common for lawyers there to be alone with their clients.

The man took advantage of the situation and fled.

"The lead of a few seconds made it possible to escape from the pursuing officer," said the Regensburg police headquarters.

The man had previously been brought to the court in Regensburg for a hearing.

The process was therefore about resistance against law enforcement officers in the Straubinger prison.

The 40-year-old has been convicted of murder and robbery resulting in death, among other things, and has been serving a life sentence since 2011.

At that time he had strangled a 76-year-old woman during a raid on a lottery shop in Nuremberg.

The police are asking witnesses to help them find the Algerian.

But she warns against speaking to the man.

He is considered violent.

He is therefore 1.76 meters tall, slim and has shoulder to elbow length, wavy dark hair.

Information should be reported via the emergency call 110.

The police continued to search for the fugitive with a large contingent.

Police helicopters, search dogs and closed police units were used.

The police have also significantly increased their forces in the city of Regensburg and are "noticeably present," said the police headquarters.
