Update at 8:30 a.m. Friday, Sept. 19: A spokesperson for the Minneapolis Police Department said Michael David Henderson was captured without incident in south Minneapolis on Friday morning. The 25-year-old man fled a Minneapolis courtroom Thursday after being convicted of second-degree attempted murder.

Original story:

A 25-year-old man fled a Minneapolis courtroom Thursday after being convicted of second-degree attempted murder, according to a statement from the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office.

Michael David Henderson rushed from the Hennepin County Government Center in downtown Minneapolis wearing a maroon T-shirt, dark pants and "black dress shoes," the statement said.

"Henderson is considered a dangerous individual so please do not approach him."

The sheriff's office also said anyone who has information on Henderson to call 763-525-6216 or 911. There's a $5,000 reward for information leading to Henderson's arrest.

A spokesperson for the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office did not immediately respond to a request for information on how Henderson escaped.
