Around 10:30 p.m. on May 11, Nasir Grant was taken into custody by federal agents on the 2800 block on West Dauphin Street in Strawberry Mansion, Marshals said.
Police have said that Grant, 24, and Ameen Hurst, 18, escaped from the Philadelphia Industrial Correctional Center on State Road sometime on Sunday, May 7.
