Abdulah Husseini - who looks strikingly similar to the former 'Friends' actor, who previously joked about their physical likeness - was found in London a month after failing to appear in court in Blackpool amid allegations of theft and fraud.

Husseini is now set to appear at Wimbledon Magistrates' Court later this week.

The alleged criminal rose to worldwide attention after Lancashire Police released a CCTV image of him in a shop.

In response to the clip - which went viral - Schwimmer joked on Twitter: ''Officers, I swear it wasn't me.

As you can see, I was in New York.

To the hardworking Blackpool Police, good luck with the investigation. (sic)''
