A 47-year-old man, identified as Ž. B., was arrested in the Jarun area of Zagreb after escaping from police custody in Velika Gorica.

The suspect had recently been released from prison after serving a sentence of four years and eight months. He was back in court due to allegations of violating court orders and violating the rights of a child, specifically involving threats made to his former partner.

Police have released a description of the man, noting he is between 175 and 180 cm tall, has a slim build, blue eyes, and light brown hair tied in a ponytail.
