A 19-year-old who escaped from a French prison in November has been arrested, authorities have told the BBC.
Yanik Touoibati Chaduli, along with a 32-year-old man, had fled a prison in the eastern city of Dijon. They sawed through cell bars and climbed down a wall using bed sheets, according to local media.
The prosecutor's office in Marseille, in the south of France, said the teenager was apprehended on Thursday in the Cité des Rosiers.
France's Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez sent his "heartfelt congratulations to the officers of the National Fugitive Search Brigade for tracking down the escapee from the Dijon prison, and to the BRI for his arrest".
Chaduli was found in the port city of Marseille after Interpol issued a red notice, the AFP news agency reported.
