A man who escaped a psychiatric hospital earlier this week was found on Friday.
Colton Bearhead, 30, was one of two men who prompted a police warning after leaving an Edmonton institution on Tuesday.
Police said both men were dangerous and warrants were issued for their arrest for being unlawfully at large.
Court records show Bearhead has an extensive legal history, including recent assault cases, one of which he was found not criminally responsible.
He was arrested on Friday by Edmonton police.
The other man, 39-year-old Justin Somers, was accused of murdering his roommate at the Edmonton Remand Centre but found not criminally responsible on account of mental disorder.
Somers was arrested by Fort Saskatchewan RCMP on Wednesday.
