Caught on tape: Dramatic moment convicted murderer fights his way out of Texas jail... through booking office door

(UK Mail Online) - Jailbreaks are supposed to involve climbing over the wire at the very least.

But when convicted murderer Trent Archie decided to escape from Walker County Jail in Texas, he decided to take a more direct route - and fight his way straight through the front door.

Dramatic footage captured the moment the 29-year-old - along with fellow inmate Davis McLeskey - viciously attacked four correction officers to escape through the prison's booking office.
