A man on the run for more than a week has been found and charged with escaping custody.
The 42-year-old Mt Eden remand prisoner, who was in handcuffs, got free during a hospital escort on 7 November.
He has now been arrested and will appear in the North Shore District Court on Monday.
The Department of Corrections earlier said that any escape is unacceptable.
A review is underway.
