Police detain prisoner on-the-run

The police have detained a prisoner on-the-run, who escaped while getting medical attention at a Prague hospital in November. The authorities had warned the public that the man was dangerous. According to a police spokeswoman the prisoner was captured on Sunday thanks to an alert from a woman who recognized him. He was on a bus from Kolin to Prague and offered no resistance. The head of the Pankrác prison house resigned in connection with his escape and two guards are being investigated over negligence.
