What is the difference between bolt and run away ?
A:
"Bolt" has a connotation of starting out standing still, and then suddenly starting to run as fast as possible (often in a surprising or startling way).
"The police were caught off guard when the suspect bolted, so he managed to get some distance between them."
"Ran away" does not say anything about the speed or how it started (just that running is involved), so it would usually be used when the action is not as surprising or as dramatic. "Ran away" can even sometimes be used when no actual running occurred, just to mean that somebody tried to escape from something.
