British police are today hunting a convicted rapist who has escaped from a London hospital for the second time in three years.
Scotland Yard said Terrence O'Keefe was dangerous and should not be approached.
O'Keefe (39), had been taken from a secure medical facility at Lambeth hospital in south London to Kings College Hospital, but was found to be missing yesterday afternoon.
He was spotted nearby in Brixton an hour later, police said.
