An escaped prisoner who was shot by police marksmen is back in prison.
The man had fired three times at officers with an air pistol from scaffolding outside St Peter's Church in Richmond Place, Brighton, before being shot in a leg.
He was able to hobble down and gave himself up to police before being taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton.
The man was later transferred to the hospital wing of a young offenders' institute near London.
The Police Complaints Authority (PCA), investigating the shooting, said last night the man had recovered sufficiently to be back in prison.
Sussex Police are considering charging the man and he is on bail to be interviewed at a later date.
A PCA spokesman said: "Our investigation will not commence in earnest until criminal proceedings, if any, have been concluded."
Police, including members of the armed Special Operations Unit, were called to St Peter's Church at 1am on Good Friday.
The man had called officers on his mobile phone saying he was wanted by them and was at the church with a gun.
