An inmate with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department attempted to pull off a less-than-sophisticated escape on a Southern California freeway over the weekend.
Video of the incident shared Sunday by ABC 7 shows the moments the man attempts to climb out a cruiser window on the highway.
The unidentified inmate barely squeaks through the window before planting face-first in the middle of the highway.
A deputy in the passenger seat promptly hops out and grabs the handcuffed suspect before the man is able to run away.

The attempted escape took place Saturday evening in Southern California
The incident happened just before 5pm on December 30 on Interstate 5 in Newhall.
Officials told the local outlet the inmate was being transferred at the time.
The cruiser was located just near the Calgrove Boulevard off-ramp at the time of the incident.
Shocking
