(BBC) Daniel Khalife has been charged with escaping from Wandsworth prison, after his four days on the run came to an end on Saturday.
The 21-year-old former soldier is due to appear in Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Monday.
He was arrested on a towpath in Northolt after being pulled off a bicycle by a plain-clothed officer.
Mr Khalife escaped from the prison on Wednesday morning, seemingly by hiding under a food delivery lorry.
The Met Police said he had been charged with escaping on September 6 while on remand at HMP Wandsworth Prison awaiting trial at the Old Bailey, contrary to common law.
