Metz was the subject of a multi-agency manhunt in the region after he assaulted and escaped police who were attempting to take him into custody yesterday.

Authorities got a tip that Metz was at a New York City homeless shelter on Tuesday. A member of the NYPD warrants squad and a New York State Trooper went to investigate, but a fight reportedly broke out when the officers tried to take Metz into custody. Police said Metz bit the state trooper and hit the other officer in the head, before making his escape.

He faces a total of 115 charges in connection to the sex assaults that took place in Goldsboro, Pennsylvania, according to arrest warrants. Metz is also on parole for assaulting yet another police officer in Pennsylvania, according to CBS News.
