A dangerous prisoner with mental health problems who escaped from a psychiatric hospital and who was orginally believed to be in Croydon is now back in police custody.

Altin Bushi, 24, disappeared from Springfield Hospital, Tooting, on Sunday, August 28, sparking a police hunt.

Bushi was serving a 10-year sentence for an attempted murder in Croydon in 1998.

Bushi was found last Tuesday.
