152 inmates managed to escape from the Professor Noe Azevedo prison in Bauru, Brazil on Tuesday, after setting fire to three pavilions of the compound. Police recaptured around 90 of the jail-breakers while the rest remain at large. Inmates set fire to mattresses in an organized effort of arson, which helped them distract prison staff and escape. Military police advised local residents to stay indoors and vehicle drivers to steer clear of the Bauru-Marilia highway and United Nations Avenue, to avoid encounters with escapees.

Eventually, FPNY (New York Fire Patrol) respond, (they) were able to extinguish the fire," Chief Maddrey tells a press conference on the scene, outside the court where Donald Trump is standing trial.
