A Bronx man who got away from police during his arrest is now back in custody.

The NYPD says they re-arrested 22-year-old Arius Hopkins just before noon Monday.

Police say they were tipped off that he was in his apartment in the Parkside Houses.

Hopkins was initially arrested last Thursday when police responded to an assault near White Plains Road and Arnow Avenue in Allerton.

Investigators say they saw Hopkins allegedly throwing away some type of drug.

He is being charged with escape.
