He has a scar on his left cheek, wears glasses and has tattoos on both arms.

The scare comes just days after two lags managed to escape from Pentonville Prison in an elaborate break-out.

James Whitlock and Matthew Baker are believed to have used diamond-tipped cutters and a drone to escape from the London jail.

They are then believed to have fooled guards with dummies left in their cell beds.

Whitlock was found by police in East London last night while Matthew Baker was re-arrested on Wednesday.
