He was jailed for manslaughter in 2019 but was released early in January last year.

Police had been looking for him since at least May 13 before he was arrested on Friday in Greenwich, South London.

He will be “returned to custody” and may remain until at least 2026, his original release date.

Waterson rammed his car seat into his girlfriend’s son as he cried at the feet of his mother in Sutton, South West London.

By the time they arrived home, the boy had collapsed and stopped breathing.

Alfie died from crush asphyxia three days later in February 2018.

A Ministry of Justice spokesperson said: “Protecting the public is our number one priority. That’s why offenders are subject to tough licence conditions and when they breach them, we do not hesitate to return them to custody.”
