A wanted sex offender who skipped his halfway house on Tuesday has been arrested.

A Canada-wide warrant was issued for James Allan Pike, 46.

He was arrested Thursday night in downtown Vancouver after he fled from police and hid in a parkade near Jervis and Nelson streets.

Pike was arrested with the help of a canine team, and was treated at hospital for a dog bite before being taken to jail. He remains in custody.
