A brazen migrant was caught on camera trying to escape Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents by jumping into a pond outside of a courthouse.

The unidentified man apparently had a court hearing at the Mecklenburg County Courthouse in Charlotte, North Carolina Thursday afternoon, when he ran across the lawn, across the street and into a duck pond in nearby Marshall Park, WBTV reports.  

There, he was seen shirtless wading through waist-deep water as two officers stood by the edge and a third chased after him in the water.

Suddenly, another officer in blue runs into view and tackles him into the pond.

A brief scuffle ensued, leaving the officer in blue soaking wet.

But eventually, the officer, the one who was chasing after him and another who jumps in the water were able to handcuff him.

They identified themselves to a WBTV reporter as ‘Immigration Officers’ and displayed Customs and Border Protection badges.

It remains unclear who the migrant is and what crimes he has been charged with.
