The 23-year-old man was arrested again Tuesday morning following the brazen escape from the 40th Precinct stationhouse on Alexander Avenue in Mott Haven around 1:30 p.m. Monday.

The suspect—who was busted in a non-fatal shooting—was uncuffed and being processed at the station when he shoved a detective and took off, police sources told the Daily News.

Surveillance video from the station shows him jogging past the front desk with a detective chasing after him.

The suspect managed to escape the station and fled up Morris Avenue. He was on the lam overnight before Tuesday's rearrest.
