Police arrested the alleged accomplice of a 17-year-old murder suspect who escaped from a hospital this week, as the manhunt for the teen continues.

Shane Pryor was in custody for a 2020 fatal shooting when he escaped from the emergency room parking lot of Children's Hospital of Philadelphia on foot Wednesday, police said. He had been transported there from the Juvenile Justice Services Center for an apparent hand injury.

A review of surveillance footage showed Pryor entering and exiting buildings in the area following his escape from custody. He is then believed to have been picked up by a person driving a cream-colored Ford, police said.

Officers located the vehicle on Wednesday and detained its driver -- Michael Diggs, 18 -- for questioning, police said. Diggs has since been charged with hindering apprehension, escape, use of communication facility and criminal conspiracy in connection with Pryor's escape, police announced on Friday. Attorney information for Diggs wasn't immediately available.
