A “dangerous” prisoner has escaped from police custody in Lewisham just one week after last going on the run.
Daniel Boakye, 21, a gang member and drill rapper, escaped from a hospital in Lewisham, south east London.
The HMP Feltham inmate who was initially locked up for a string of armed robberies had already escaped once from West Middlesex University Hospital on Tuesday last week.
Police caught up with the escapee on Wednesday, but again he managed to break free on Sunday and is still at large.
A Metropolitan police spokeswoman told the Sun: “We are searching for a 21-year-old man who absconded from Lewisham Hospital at around 15:05hrs on Sunday, 15 February.
“Daniel Boakye was in police custody at the hospital receiving medical treatment when he fled.
“Officers gave chase but could not detain Boakye before he left the building.
“He is 21 years old, black, of medium height and slim build. He was wearing grey tracksuit bottoms and a dark Nike jacket when he absconded.

Mr Boakye’s multiple escapes come just months before he was due to be deported to Ghana.

The drill rapper was found at a property in Thamesmead after his first escape after slipping out of prison staff’s care at a west London hospital.
