Canada prisoners in daring helicopter escape

Two inmates have made a daring escape from a prison in Canada by climbing up a rope into a hovering helicopter.

Officials at the St-Jerome prison, near Montreal, said the inmates fled at about 14:20 (18:20 GMT) on Sunday, triggering a massive manhunt.

Police later said they arrested one of the prisoners and two other men. They also surrounded the area where the second escapee was hiding.

The helicopter was also found, and the pilot is now being questioned.
