A convicted killer "crab walked" up two walls separated by a 5ft hallway, out of Philadelphia prison yard, newly released prison footage shows.
Danelo Cavalcante (34) escaped the prison yard on 31 August and has since evaded a widening manhunt despite multiple reported sightings of him.
The video shows how he "crab walked up a wall, through razor wire".

The 34-year-old was sentenced to life without parole last week for stabbing his ex-girlfriend Deborah Brandao 38 times.
It took a jury 15 minutes to convict with an overwhelming amount of gruesome evidence.
Deborah Brandao was murdered with a kitchen knife in front of her two children.
In May, an inmate was caught only five minutes after escaping once he was spotted on video monitors.
This time there was a corrections officer in the observation tower, who apparently failed to monitor the security feed, unlike in the May case.
Officials stated that the razor wire was installed after the previous escape, but that it was clearly not effective.
Starting Monday, officials initiated the use of helicopters and patrol vehicles to broadcast an audio message recorded by Cavalcante's mother in Brazil, in which she begs him to turn himself in.

Moreover, a reward of £16,000 (equivalent to $20,000) is being offered for any information that leads to his apprehension.
