A dangerous prisoner who escaped from Auckland Prison on Wednesday remains on the run from police.
Kevin Polwart, 49, cut through fences to make his escape and taunted police by scrawling "Catch Me if you Can" and drawing a rabbit on a concrete slab at the Paremoremo grounds.
Polwart, who is described as Maori, of medium build and 165cm tall, had a history of violence and should not be approached, police said.
He could be heading north or south and police want to hear from anyone who sees him.
