‘I’ve caught this one for you!’: British ‘Batman’ hands wanted man to police
Suspect had been wanted in connection with a string of crimes and has now been charged
A man dressed as Batman walked into a British police station in the middle of the night and told officers: “I’ve caught this one for you!” as he handed them a crime suspect.
Police in West Yorkshire, northern England, are baffled after the mystery crime fighter delivered the suspect to a police station in the city of Bradford in the early hours of Thursday.
Wearing the full costume of the shadowy comic book hero including a cape, he then “promptly vanished into the night to fight crime and the fear of crime in Bradford”, West Yorkshire Police said.
The force released a CCTV photograph of the “caped crusader” on Monday, who is of stocky build, arriving at the police station with his captive.
The person who brought the wanted man into the station was dressed in a full Batman outfit. His identity, however, remains unknown
A police spokesman said the 27-year-old crime suspect had been wanted in connection with a string of crimes and has now been charged with handling stolen goods and fraud-related offences. He will appear in court on Friday.
