A manhunt for an escaped convict from Liverpool has come to and end after he was arrested in Leeds.
Shaun Walmsley, 29, was sprung from custody during a visit to Aintree University Hospital in February 2017. Two men armed with a knife and a gun confronted guards outside the Liverpool hospital during a visit from HMP Walton.
Armed officers stopped a car in the Harehills area of Leeds on Tuesday 21 August and detained Walmsley.
He will appear at Liverpool and Knowsley Magistrates' Court charged with escape from lawful custody.
