Grzyb, who was charged with a domestic-related burglary, fled down Red Cross Street in the direction of The Strand, the force added.
He is described as white, with short, dark and was last seen wearing a navy t-shirt and navy shorts.
Extensive inquiries are currently being taken by officers to locate him and patrols have also attended the home of the alleged victim in the case.
Inspector Bethan Hannon said: “We understand the concern this incident will cause, and it is vital the public can see Grzyb’s face so they can report any sightings and help us bring him back into custody as soon as possible.
“If you have heard from him or know where he is, please do the right thing and come forward.
“Assisting him in any way will bring police to your own door, so it is not an association worth keeping.
“If you see Grzyb, please call 999 immediately.
“We are carrying out extensive enquiries to find him with patrols on foot and CCTV enquiries being made right across the city centre so that we can return him to custody.”
Anyone with information is asked to get in touch with police quoting reference number 26000615520.
