This was the moment an Ebola sufferer was bundled into an ambulance by health workers after escaping from hospital.
The man, who had been kept in quarantine after contracting the deadly virus, left his bed at the hospital in Monrovia, Iberia and went on a hunt for food at a local market.
But he was soon spotted and chased by officials who took him back to the medical centre.
Angry crowds were seen running after the ambulance as it left the market yesterday.
Last month, a group of 17 Ebola patients escaped from the same hospital as it struggled to deal with the epidemic.
More than 1300 people are believed to have died from the virus, which is spread through contact with bodily fluids, in West Africa since the latest outbreak, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).
Authorities estimate 729 people have died in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone, where the virus is most prevalent, since March this year.
Among the dead are almost 130 health workers who were caring for Ebola sufferers.
The WHO estimates as many as 20,000 could contract the virus before the outbreak is over.
Food in countries hit by Ebola is getting more expensive and will become scarcer because many farmers will not be able to access fields, the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) warned today.
The UN has said 1.3 million people in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone will need help feeding themselves in coming months.
Vincent Martin, who is co-ordinating the agency's response to the crisis, said: "Even prior to the Ebola outbreak, households in some of the affected areas were spending up to 80 per cent of their incomes on food. Now these latest price spikes are effectively putting food completely out of their reach."
