A young American soldier who ran across the North Korea border is in US custody and heading home.
Travis King made a sudden dash from South to North Korea whilst on a civilian tour of the demilitarised zone two months ago.
Before he ran to North Korea, the 23-year-old had served in a South Korean prison for assault and was due to be sent home to Texas to face consequences.
US Correspondent Mitch McCann told Tim Dower that he's now been flown to China to be held in US custody.
He says King will face the consequences of the US military this time.
