CINCINNATI, Ohio – Law enforcement officers are asking the public for help after a man escaped from custody.

According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Juan Romero Barahora escaped from the Summit Behavioral Center in Cincinnati Tuesday night, NBC 4 reported.

Barahora was reportedly originally incarcerated at the Warren Count Sheriff's Office jail on a first-degree felony rape charge. He was transferred to the behavioral center on August 29 after an alleged suicide attempt.

Authorities said that at approximately 11:45 p.m. Tuesday night, Barahora climbed a wall and escaped from the facility.

Barahora is a Hispanic male who is approximately 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 139 pounds. He has short black hair and brown eyes. He has tattoos on both arms, including one on his left shoulder that reads "GLADIS".

According to authorities, Barahora should be considered armed and dangerous.

Anyone with information has been asked to contact Lt. Doug McKinney of the Ohio State Highway Patrol at 513-383-1700.
