       The woman managed to escape after suffering injuries in the terrifying assault.

       Officers launched a huge search for Martin after he allegedly fled in a car during an attempt to arrest him the following day.

       They told members of the public that he could be "dangerous", warning: “We urge anyone with information about his whereabouts not to approach him.

       "We believe he is dangerous and could be armed."

       Crimestoppers offered a ￡5,000 reward for information which led to an arrest.

       And tonight, police confirmed their suspect - who is wanted for a string of alleged offences - has been arrested in Ladywood, Birmingham.
