Police have arrested 17-year-old Curtis Tassin... again.
Officers caught Tassin in Algiers Thursday night after he got away from state custody during a trip to juvenile court in New Orleans Wednesday.
The Office of Juvenile Justice says Tassin was recaptured on Elizardi Boulevard on the Westbank.
NOPD said Tassin was "extremely dangerous."
He had been in custody on charges including assault, battery, armed robbery, carjacking and escape.
In 2022, Tassin escaped the troubled Bridge City Center for Youth before allegedly committing another carjacking.
Authorities say this week's escape was the teen's third time fleeing authorities.
He now faces additional charges.
