The 21-year-old was remanded into custody at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Monday charged with escaping custody at HMP Wandsworth on Wednesday.
He was arrested on a canal towpath in west London at 10.41am on Saturday after being pulled off a push bike by a plain-clothes counter-terrorism officer.
