Police in Austin, Texas are searching for a man they say severely beat another man in a drainage tunnel.
The attack happened August 15.
Since then, police have discovered the fugitive's underground camp, where they say he lived for more than two years.
Police say 45-year-old Russel Roland was hiding out under a heavily populated part of the city.
Down in the sewer, they say they found a kitchen-area, workout equipment, pictures, maps, and knives.
Along with those items, police found animal bones and fake skulls. Investigators say they even found a raft that Roland, also known as "Thor," may have been trying to escape with.
