A Perth man who was on the run from police for nearly four days has been identified as the man who fell and escaped from an unsecured police paddywagon.

Ali Hood was wanted in connection to an armed robbery on a liquor outlet in West Perth and for breaching his bail last month, with police putting out a call to find the 31-year-old on Wednesday.

WA Police Acting Assistant Commissioner Greg Knott said the incident unfolded when officers from Cockburn Police Station arrested Mr Hood in Munster over the armed robbery about 12.30pm on Sunday.

As the vehicle went through the intersection at Newcastle Street and Charles Street in Leederville, a dashcam on a nearby car captured the moment the door swung open and Mr Hood fell onto the road.
