Late on Thursday evening, two young men aged 17 and 20 escaped from a psychiatric hospital in Riskov, just outside of Århus in Jutland.
Both men were being held at the hospital for violent crimes, and a police manhunt for the men, who were described as 'dangerous', started shortly after the escape at approximately 10pm.
The 17-year-old man is of slim build, and was wearing jeans and a white hooded jumper with orange lining and orange writing on the back. He is described as dangerous by local police and has in the past used weapons. The 20-year-old, who is of a stocky build, was wearing a white sweatshirt and black t-shirt, as well as short trousers and sandals.
