A prisoner who escaped when two guards taking him to hospital were threatened at gunpoint has been found.

Andrew Farndon, 26, fled when the prison officers were threatened as he arrived at West Suffolk Hospital, in Bury St Edmunds, on Wednesday evening.

Police have not revealed where he was found but said it was outside Suffolk.

They had said Farndon, who was serving an indeterminate sentence for causing grievous bodily harm, was dangerous and could be anywhere in the country.
