A DETAINEE who led police on major police hunt throughout Perth city centre today after escaping while under the watch of Serco guards has been caught.
Officers arrested the man, who is believed to be Vietnamese, in Northbridge just before 6pm this evening. He had been on the run since 3.45pm after giving the guards the slip from the corner of Pier and Wellington Streets in the Perth CBD.

Police shut down parts of the city and flooded the streets, checking stores along the shopping strip as well as big department stores such as Myer.
The police helicopter was also brought in to help track the man down who was seen wearing green cargo pants, blue t-shirt and a white bandage on his left hand.
It is not known why the man was in the custody of the Department of Immigration but it is believed he had been treated at Royal Perth Hospital shortly before he escaped.
A WA police spokesman confirmed the man was under the guard of the department and Serco staff.

Alex Kwon, manager of Sun Cafe on William and Newcastle streets said he saw the man running north along William before police stopped him.
Mr Kwon said it was all over quickly and the man was arrested without any violence.
The latest escape comes just a day after detainees broke out of Yongah Hill Detention Centre in Northam and just over a fortnight after another breakout. Three detainees escaped the Northam detention centre on January 12.

The Sunday Times/PerthNow revealed this week that it took those detainees just 45 seconds to scale the fences at the detention centre using nothing more than padded socks.
Documents leaked by a Serco insider highlighted major security flaws at the WA facility as well as other Australian detention centers.
Sources have confirmed to PerthNow that the man who escaped was under the watch of Serco.
The Immigration Minister Scott Morrison was contacted for comment.
