Police say they have captured the man who broke out of a Brooklyn police station last week.

Thomas Davtian, 27, was arrested Tuesday in connection with allegedly robbing his girlfriend, but slipped out of an interview room at the 61st Precinct station house in Sheepshead Bay.

The suspect has now been charged in connection with the escape as well.

The New York Post is reporting a man claiming to be Davtian called the paper and told a reporter the robbery charge was a set up by his girlfriend and another man, but then refused to surrender or meet with a reporter.
