Port of Seattle Police were alerted to the escape at about 11 a.m., according to officials.

An agent, who was hired for the task, was in the process of escorting a suspect, Sedrick T. Stevenson, 28, when the suspect managed to break free at the ticket counter.

Stevenson, who was wanted on warrants out of Bowling Green, Kentucky, fled the area toward the light rail station.

The agents chased him but were not able to catch him.

Port of Seattle Police confirmed via video cameras that Stevenson boarded the light rail train and headed north.
