ARLINGTON, Va. (7News) — Bryan Betancur walked out of the Arlington County Courthouse on Monday for an initial hearing on his alleged assaults along the Metro, but was arrested just moments later.

Betancur, 28, was re-arrested by Metro Transit Police Department officers to face a simple assault charge in DC Superior Court, officials familiar with the matter said. This stemmed from an alleged incident on a Red Line train at the NoMa-Galludet U station that took place Feb. 28.

Arlington officials said Betancur was booked on a fugitive from justice charge by the Metro Transit Police.

His hearing in the Arlington General District Court was continued, and Betancur provided bail, according to court records. Another hearing is scheduled for April 20.

The Silver Spring, Maryland, resident was arrested on March 2 after Metro Transit Police said it was looking into assaults allegedly linked to Betancur, some of which were posted on social media, officials said.

He appeared before a judge in Montgomery County, Maryland, before being extradited to Arlington, Virginia, to face an assault and battery charge related to a March 1 incident on a Silver Line train near Clarendon Metro Station.
