Authorities in China have arrested a man nearly 2 decades after he escaped from a prison camp.

The fugitive had been serving time for human trafficking when he made his escape.

He was found hiding inside a remote cave, where he had been living alone for the past 17 years.

The man had been cut off from society for so long, it was difficult for him to communicate with the police officers who nabbed him.
