*A raucous group of Florida spring breakers cheered on a handcuffed man Wednesday as he escaped from the back of a police car on Clearwater Beach and made a run for it.
Police were breaking up a fight shortly before 7 p.m. when they placed 18-year-old Dominic Glass in the squad car. Video posted by the user, @nameone_better, shows officers dealing with a large group of people when suddenly someone in the crowd slyly opens the cop car’s door, allowing Glass to flee. The crowd took off behind him, cheering as he ran down the beach.
