This one could be one for those ‘funniest videos’ shows as two convicts were almost able to escape.
The two prisoners who almost escaped were handcuffed together, but apparently they forgot about it. As they were trying to make their getaway, they ran opposite sides of a lamppost, slammed on each other and then they fell on the ground where they were picked-up by jailers.
