Information has recently emerged as to how El Chapo was able to escape the Mexican marines sent to capture him, with reports saying he fell from a small cliff whilst being chased.

Despite sustaining a broken leg and injuries to the face in the fall, Mexico’s most wanted man was still able to get away.

According to CNN, who cited Mexican officials, the Sinaloa cartel chief was spotted near the town of Cosala, in the Sierra Madre mountains, on October 9, however marines did not move in because he was with a girl.

When he was spotted again without the child, special forces went after him on foot, at which point Guzman fell off the cliff.

His bodyguards are said to have rushed to the bottom of the ravine and collected Guzman, carrying from there through the thick bush.

It was in these parts they were able to further evade authorities and get away.

NBC News previously reported that Guzman suffered face and leg wounds in the escape.

The marines had first approached Guzman’s supposed hideaway by helicopter, but were forced to retreat after coming under fire from people believed to be his guards.

They later launched another assault on foot, but by the time they arrived, the notorious leader of the Sinaloa Cartel was gone.

Instead they found only medication, cell phones used to trace them, and two-way radios.

After Guzman’s escape troops shut off 13 communities from Jesus Maria – 30 miles north of the state’s capital Culiacan – to the nearby states of Durango and Chihuahua, in order to search for him.
