U.S. Marshals are conducting a floor-to-floor search this morning at the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse for a man who escaped custody during a court appearance.

Over a public address system, the Marshals service ordered all doors to judges' chambers and staff offices closed and locked.

They also ordered the man to kneel down in a public hallway and await the arrival of marshals.

The man's identity could not be immediately confirmed.
