Catching him is tricky as the timing of the grab is important. If he runs towards you and you're standing in the wrong spot or take too long he will run the opposite direction. Took me ages to catch him the first time I tried this quest, but once you get used to the grab it becomes easier. You're probably too late with the execution.

Best thing though is to hit him with something so he staggers and you can then run up and grab him.

For me he generally always runs the same route up and down the village path. I always wait in front of the inn because I'm lazy and he always passes that point a few times before running out of the village.
