The Bangladeshi immigrant accused of setting off a pipe bomb in the New York subway system has been moved out of the hospital where he was recovering from burns sustained in the blast to a jailhouse in lower Manhattan. 

Akayed Ullah was moved out of Bellevue Hospital Wednesday morning and taken to the Metropolitan Correctional Facility, where he's now an inmate, the Bureau of Prisons confirms. 

Ullah made his first court appearance from his hospital bed last week: he could be seen on video laying on a hospital bed with his head propped up on a pillow and his body covered up to his neck in sheets. Two assistant public defenders, who stood beside his hospital bed, did not request bail.

Ullah didn't enter a plea at the time but answered a few of the judge's questions, including answering "I can see you" when she asked if he could hear her and "yes I do" when he was asked if he understood his rights.

Ullah, 27, is accused of detonating a pipe bomb that was strapped to his body in a pedestrian tunnel linking two busy subway stations. He was the only person seriously injured.

Prosecutors said that after his capture he told interrogators he was on a mission to punish the U.S. for attacking the Islamic State group.
