MANHATTAN — A prisoner escaped from police custody in the 25th Precinct in East Harlem on Friday evening, police said. 

The person managed to escape around 6:30 p.m.

Police had no further information about how the escape happened, the gender of the prisoner or the reason for the arrest.

This is the second escape from a Harlem precinct in as many months.

He hid out in the neighborhood before being captured on Tuesday.
