Thomas has an extensive criminal history - including arson, burglary, escape and drugs - and should be considered armed and dangerous, police said.
"Clearly, he displayed desperate measures to get out of the hospital. He is desperate and should be considered armed and dangerous," said Assistant Chief Deputy Ron Carter.
Carter was due in court on Monday, Nov. 6.
Cleveland Police declined to answer questions about the escape. MetroHealth Medical Center did not return our phone calls.
He was last seen wearing black jogging pants with a white stripe down the side of the legs and no shirt.
