The San Francisco media consultant who sparked a nationwide manhunt for allegedly having explosives in his apartment turned up not too far away from where he lived. Ryan Kelly Chamberlain II was arrested at a public park near the Golden Gate Bridge Monday evening, ending a three-day search.

The dramatic capture was caught on camera by Morgan Manos, an Uber driver who was taking a break at the park. When he noticed the arrest, he whipped out his phone and started recording. "He was asking for help. He saw that I was recording him and said 'Help me,'" Manos told KPIX-TV. (You can watch the arrest unfold on their website.)
