Brooklyn, N.Y. -- A suspect in a murderous 2010 brawl in Park Slope, Brooklyn, escaped from a police station house early Thursday morning, fleeing on foot and sparking an extensive manhunt to recapture him, the police said.
Detectives had been questioning the 24-year-old suspect, Brandon Santana, in the 78th Precinct station house, a few blocks from the Barclays Center, in connection with a violent street fight between two groups of men that left one person dead, said Paul J. Browne, the Police Department’s chief spokesman.
