During the wait, the accused requested to use the washroom and was escorted by Green with both hands in cuffs. After a short while, the accused rushed out of the washroom with the handcuffs on one hand only.
A scuffled ensued between Constable Green and Abrams and he managed to relieve the Constable of the firearm and made good his escape.
An alarm was raised by Green and acting on information, a party of policemen conducted a search in the Alberttown area, when Corporal Elias saw the accused stooping under the step with a gun in his hand. He confronted Abrams and demand that he handed over the revolver; instead the accused pointed in his direction and fired several shots.
