Nov. 7 (UPI) -- A man who was accidentally freed from a British prison on Oct. 29 has been arrested in London, police said.

Brahim Kaddour-Cherif, 24, from Algeria, was let out of Wandsworth Prison in south London and was arrested Friday in Finsbury Park in north London, London's Metropolitan police said.

There was a manhunt for Kaddour-Cherif and William Smith, 35, who was released Monday, also accidentally. Smith turned himself in Thursday.

Kaddour-Cherif was convicted of indecent exposure in November 2024. He was given an 18-month community order -- an order for treatment and community service -- and five years on the sex offender registry.
