If a particle were to escape from one black hole, the intense curvature of spacetime in this configuration would virtually guarantee that it would be absorbed by one of the other black holes eventually. Note that the Schwarzschild Radii of these supermassive black holes are continuously expanding and the conditions for a particle to escape the gravitational pull of a singularity at exactly the Schwarzschild Radius are as follows:

* It must move at the speed of light

* It must travel in a direction directly perpendicular to the surface of the event horizon.

Under these gravitationally "crowded" conditions your particle would be very lucky to escape at all and even luckier to avoid the other black holes. It would be like the old adage, "out of the frying pan into the fire."
