A District teenager who was being held at a secure youth detention facility in Maryland attacked a guard early Monday morning, stole his keys, climbed the fence using a nearby ladder and escaped in the guard’s car, officials said.

As of Monday evening, D.C. police said they had found the car but not the youth, a 17-year-old from Southeast Washington who escaped from New Beginnings Youth Development Center in Laurel. Officials said the guard was hospitalized but has returned home.
