Fugitive Victor Burgos arrested after taunting police on Facebook
Found: Victor Burgos was tracked down by police after he taunted them via his Facebook page

A fugitive from upstate New York who taunted police on his Facebook page to 'catch me if you can. I'm in Brooklyn' has been arrested.

U.S. marshals and NYPD detectives tracked Victor Burgos down to an apartment in Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant neighbourhood Monday night, sitting at his computer with his Facebook page open.

The 29-year-old suspect was wanted by Utica police on multiple arrest warrants for domestic violence and harassment of his former girlfriend.

He is said to have issued the Facebook challenge after his mug shot appeared on the Utica Police Department's 10 most wanted list.

Utica Sargent Steve Hauck tells the News: 'He told us via Facebook to come and get him, and we did.'

The self styled 'man of many jobs', is a keen self promoter who describes himself as a 'design genius'.
