SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY- Police in Scranton continue to search for 32-year-old Tyree Burgess in connection with an assault on a female patient at Mercy Hospital early Tuesday morning.

Police say Burgess is the man who groped the patient after telling Emergency Room attendants he was coming to the hospital to visit his wife. Burgess was taken into custody by police a few blocks away from the hospital after the incident. He had to be released when he could not immediately be identified as the intruder. Police say another witness and hospital video later confirmed that Burgess was their man.

Officers attempted to serve an arrest warrant at his Main Avenue home Thursday morning. But Burgess was no where to be found.

Police also say Burgess was on parole on a manslaughter charge. He and two other individuals were charged in connection with the beating death of 40-year-old Edward Phillips in his Valley View Apartment in March of 2000.

Mercy Hospital has now initiated a policy requiring escorts for anyone trying to visit a patient after normal visiting hours.

Anyone with information about Burgess' whereabouts is asked to contact the Scranton Police Department.
