Police have arrested former Home and Away actor Orpheus Pledger, after a three-day manhunt.

An arrest warrant was issued after Pledger allegedly left Royal Melbourne Hospital during a court-ordered medical assessment.

Pledger was taken to the hospital on Monday after he was granted bail in Melbourne Magistrates’ Court, where he had faced charges for allegedly assaulting a woman.

Pledger is described as approximately 170cm tall with brown hair and tanned complexion.

He appeared on reality TV show SAS Australia in 2022 but voluntarily withdrew from the show after just two days.
