Convicted rapist escapes Australian hospital custody, sparks NSW manhunt

Michael Angok, 30, escaped from custody at Bankstown Hospital in Sydney on Wednesday while awaiting deportation from Australia. He was previously convicted of gang-raping a 14-year-old girl in a Doonside park in February 2014 and had been detained at Villawood Immigration Detention Centre. NSW Police launched an active manhunt with public warnings not to approach the escapee. The incident raises questions about security protocols at Australian detention facilities and immigration custody procedures.
