A former Colombian congresswoman serving time in prison pulled off a dramatic escape after a visit to the dentist’s office – and it was all caught on video.

Colombian authorities said in a news conference Tuesday that Aída Merlano escaped through the third-floor window of a dentist’s office in the northern part of the country’s capital, Bogotá.

Police released surveillance video that shows the ex-politician grabbing a red rope that was hidden in the office, then throwing it out the window. Outside footage shows the red rope dangling before she drops to the street.

The video shows a group of pedestrians crowding around her before she gets up, hops on the back of a motorcycle and rides away.

Merlano was sentenced to 15 years in prison for buying votes to win a seat in the country’s Senate in 2018, according to The Washington Post.

Colombian authorities said there were four guards with Merlano the day of her escape.

Police said the dentist was questioned as part of the investigation but didn't release the health professional’s name.

Authorities monitored modes of transportation to try to prevent Merlano from leaving the city.
