Inmate who escaped NYC’s floating barge prison captured after manhunt

An inmate who escaped from the city’s floating jail in a daring overnight escapade which featured a knotted rope dangling from his cell window was captured Saturday afternoon after an intense, five-borough manhunt, the NYPD told The Post.

David Mordukhaev, 30, was back in custody after more than 12 hours on the lam. He was picked up at 79 Brighton 11th Street just before 5 p.m. by the Federal Bureau of Investigations, the NYPD and the federal Office of the Inspector General, and was sent to the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, a law enforcement said.
