A man convicted of assault and theft has been arrested in Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture, four days after he escaped an attempt to be brought into custody.
Makoto Kobayashi, 43, brandished a knife before fleeing in a vehicle when prosecutors and police tried to take him into custody Wednesday. He was apprehended at around 6:40 a.m. Sunday while hiding in a friend's apartment, according to the Yokohama District Public Prosecutor's Office.
This time, though, he did not attempt to evade capture.
