Frantic police officers who thought they had caught escaped terror suspect Daniel Khalife had to do an embarrassing u-turn when they realised it was just a random bloke waiting on a train.<\/p>\n

Daniel Abed Khalife, 22, was awaiting trial for terror and Official Secrets Act offences when he escaped from Wandsworth Prison on Wednesday morning (September 6), the Metropolitan Police said. <\/p>\n

The escaped inmate, who had served in the British Army, made the jailbreak by clinging upside down to the underside of a delivery truck as it left the southwest London penitentiary. <\/p>\n

And with the eyes of the world trained on the Met Police, they thought they had their man. However, when officers swooped on the unsuspecting commuter at Banbury station in Oxfordshire earlier today, they soon realised it wasn't Khalife.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The man was arrested then de-arrested when officers established he was not the terror suspect.<\/p>\n

Train passenger Oliver, in his 20s, was left waiting outside the station while the incident took place.<\/p>\n

When the train then pulled into the station, he was able to snap a clear picture.<\/p>\n

Oliver said: \u201cWe went through Banbury on the way to Basingstoke.<\/p>\n

"Just before we got there, they said on the tannoy that we couldn\u2019t go to Banbury and they're delaying train as they think there\u2019s an escaped terrorist at station.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a 15-minute wait \u2013 when we pulled into the station he was right outside my window \u2013 it looked like him a lot.<\/p>\n
