    A prisoner who absconded from a hospital in London has been arrested and returned to prison, police have confirmed.

    A manhunt was launched after Graham Gomm, 63, escaped HMP Wormwood Scrubs on Thursday.

    Gomm, who has been on remand for burglary offences, was taken to Hammersmith Hospital by prison staff after being taken unwell, but was found to have absconded at around 1:18am.
