According to the New York Times, Vincens Vuktilaj, the 19-year-old who escaped arrest in Harlem, has been captured by NYPD in subway tunnels under 133rd street.

Witnesses say they saw the suspect run down the street and hide under a car. Police found him and took him into custody. Officials say he was still wearing his handcuffs upon capture.

That handcuffed prisoner who escaped police earlier today in New York and shut down subway service in Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx? 

Well, he’s obviously a ninja. And a fast one..

New video has emerged of Vincens Vuktilaj, snatching a chain from a 93-year-old woman and running like hell. Those chain snatchings are the same crimes that police apprehended him for; the 17-year-old is a suspect in at least five other chain snatchings.

Vuktilaj had been arrested on Friday in connection with the chain snatchings, which occurred over the last month in the Bronx, the police said. He was arraigned over the weekend on two counts of grand larceny and released on $2,500 bail, and on Monday morning, the police went to his apartment at 141st and St. Nicholas to re-arrest him on further charges, said the police.

But on Monday morning when he was being escorted down the stairs of his building in Harlem, he decided he wasn’t going out like that and pushed at least one officer and fled…just like he can be seen doing in the video above.

He disappeared into the 145th Street subway station (the A, B, C, and D lines), which were then shut down for about two hours.

Vuktilaj, who is wearing a yellow shirt, jeans, no shoes and handcuffs, is still at large.

In other words, watch yo’ neck because you don’t want to end up like Red:
