Former soldier Daniel Abed Khalife, suspected of terrorist crimes, escaped from Wandsworth prison in London on Wednesday morning. He is said to have been dressed in chef’s clothes and got out by clinging to the bottom of a food truck.
After four days of intense police manhunt, he was arrested on Saturday morning.
“The Metropolitan Police have arrested Daniel Khalife, who escaped from HMP Wandsworth on September 6,” writes the London Police on X.
Police arrested him just before eleven o’clock in the morning. This after armed police were seen searching the area during the morning, according to Sky News.
Daniel Abed Khalife, who was in custody awaiting trial when he escaped, has now been placed back in police custody. The police say they will share more information about the arrest during the day.
The police would also like to thank everyone who helped in the search.
“We would like to thank the public and the media for their support throughout our investigation to locate Khalife, and we will provide a further update on his arrest going forward,” police said in a statement, according to the channel.
