British police have arrested an asylum-seeker who was mistakenly released from prison on Friday while serving a 12-month sentence for sexual assault following a “fast-moving and complex” manhunt.

"Father Ted" creator Graham Linehan cleared as U.K. police drop investigation into his social media posts that drew international criticism and free speech concerns.

After arresting two British nationals, the police said later on Sunday that they considered only one of them, a 32-year-old man, as a suspect in the stabbing that wounded 10 people. They added that there is nothing to suggest a terrorist incident at this stage.
