One scrambled out a police station window while officers briefly left him alone during questioning. The other somehow managed to slip away while police were writing up his arrest papers.

Both were still on the loose early today after two separate escapes from New York City police stationhouses within 24 hours.

The latest escape came around 2:30 a.m. yesterday, when a 17-year-old attempted robbery suspect somehow got away from officers at the 77th Precinct station in Brooklyn, police said. Officers were drawing up papers to arrest the teen in a hold-up attempt about an hour before, police said.

It wasn’t clear exactly how the suspect fled, but police said he likely was handcuffed.

On Thursday afternoon, a man being questioned about a deadly shooting managed to jump out a third-floor window to escape from the 103rd Precinct stationhouse in Queens, police said.

The detective in charge of the case and another officer had taken off the 27-year-old man’s handcuffs while talking to him. When the officers briefly left the room to confer, he darted out the window and onto an adjacent building, according to police.

The detective was suspended yesterday for failing to secure the man, who was being interrogated about a July 28 shooting, police said.

The city has a history of headline-making prisoner escapes, including a 1982 episode in which nine shackled prisoners overpowered three guards in a Brooklyn courthouse and commandeered a passing driver’s car. In 2000, a suspected prostitute wriggled out of handcuffs and stole a police van while officers were arresting someone else. She drove the van to New Jersey before she was rearrested.

In 2002, a cunning drug suspect contrived his way out of a Manhattan courthouse by pretending to be a panhandler.
