The 47-year-old suspect who fled from the Coburg district court was arrested by the police. A patrol arrested the man on Tuesday in Grub am Forst (Bavaria) without resistance, according to a police spokesman. There is no doubt that he is the one he is looking for.

The defendant was on trial on suspicion of sexual abuse of his two daughters. He was therefore also in custody. The court had ordered his ankle cuffs to be removed for the duration of the hearing. During a break in the hearing on Monday, according to the police, he ran downstairs, broke a window in a lounge for witnesses and escaped.
