Police are promising an investigation into how a man escaped their custody late yesterday afternoon.
Brett Makiri escaped from Auckland Central Police Station on Cook Street, after being arrested in relation to kidnapping and assault.
He was wearing a dark shirt, knee-length shorts and white shoes.
Detective Inspector Karyn Malthus says the focus is on recapturing the potentially dangerous 23-year-old.
But she says they also want to know how the escape happened, to prevent it from happening again.
