A Northern Territory remand prisoner who allegedly injured one police officer and knocked over another as he escaped custody in a remote town has been captured.
Earl Junior Foster, 23, fled Elliott Police Station on Tuesday after forcing his way past the officers.
He was re-arrested about 5am on Friday after a two-day manhunt in the town of around 350 people.
Police will transport Foster to Tennant Creek to be charged.
The injured officer suffered a cut to his cheek during the escape and was taken to Tennant Creek Hospital for medical treatment.
Elliott is 735km southeast of Darwin.
