A MAN sought by police after he went on the run from a Teesside prison has been recaptured.
David Magee, 28, was serving a sentence for wounding with intent. He was reported missing while on day release yesterday.
"Following a public appeal to trace the whereabouts of a man who was reported to have absconded from Kirklevington Prison, officers this evening arrested a 28-year-old man in the Hartlepool area on suspicion of escaping lawful custody," a spokeswoman for Cleveland Police said.
"He has been taken to police custody."
