"Escaped Prisoner Recaptured on I-95 in Waltham After Transport Vehicle Incident"

A prisoner, Victor De Moura-Pereira, escaped from a transport van during a traffic jam on I-95 in Waltham, prompting a large search by law enforcement agencies. He was later taken into custody in the area of Second Avenue and Bear Hill Road in Waltham. De Moura-Pereira, who was arrested on Sunday for assault and battery on an officer, has been transferred to the custody of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement due to a detainer placed on him by that agency. An investigation is ongoing.
