A prisoner, who escaped from the Lusignan Prison early Saturday morning, was recaptured several hours later, police said.
Police say 38-year old Quincy Clarke was arrested on Callendar Street, Albouystown, Georgetown.
He was nabbed at about 6:50 Saturday night by policemen and later handed over to officers of the Guyana Prison Service.
During his escape at about 2 O’clock yesterday morning, he had been seen pushing a motorcycle belonging to a prison officer.
However, he dropped the bike, jumped a trench and ran west into some bushes making good his escape.
Clarke was sentenced to two four-week terms concurrently for two counts of threatening language on July 29.
