    Terror suspect Daniel Khalife has been arrested in north-west London after a four-day search, police have said.

    Scotland Yard said the 21-year-old ex-soldier was detained at 10:41 BST after being pulled from a bicycle on a canal towpath in the Northolt area.

    He was held about 14 miles from Wandsworth prison, from where he escaped on Wednesday morning.

    The Met had been reviewing CCTV footage and using a helicopter to search areas in west and south-west London.

    Police thanked the public for contacting them with sightings, and said they'd had over 100 calls.

    The force said Mr Khalife is currently in police custody.

    He is accused of trying to spy for an enemy state, understood to be Iran, obtaining information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism, and plotting a fake bomb hoax.

    Mr Khalife was at Wandsworth on remand pending a trial in November after being denied bail at a court hearing in January.

    His escape began in the kitchens of the prison - where he held a job - after he attached himself to the underside of a food delivery lorry.

    Why aren't all prisoners, or at least those deemed higher risk, fitted with some sort of tracking device that is impossible to take off? The authorities would then know exactly where a prisoner is, be that inside or outside jail. Too obvious? Human rights bollox?

    I was in a Sam Smith's pub in the West End of London yesterday afternoon 'rehydrating' from the heat. Bloke sat next to me with his missus had a very familiar accent. Eventually along with a Geordie also sat in the same area we all started talking. The Geordie left but me and the other Hullite didn't move for about 3 hours! Very interesting bloke, from being a down and out from Bransholme, numerous twists and turns when younger, to now owning the largest vintage clothing business in the UK. Very interesting bloke. Not sure if any of you on here would know him (OLM?), has a shop in St. Stephens as well as more across the North and a very busy wholesale and online business. Fair dues to him and shows anything is possible if you want it enough.

    Philip Waltham I believe. He’s the only male Director.

    I never understand how Poorboy do what they do and make money, Humber Street is very poor for retail, as almost everything else down there is food/drink, they opened in the old bank opposite Paragon Arcade, then shut it after a month and are now in St Stephens where they can't possibly be taking enough to pay the rents in there (so I assume it's some sort of discounted Pop-up). The stock was really poor last time I went in, it's not really vintage product, it's basically just second hand.
