Bradford Batman unmasks himself

The mystery man who walked into a police station in Britain dressed as Batman to hand over an alleged criminal has revealed himself as a Chinese takeaway delivery man.

Stan Warby, 39, reportedly said he had been at a football match dressed as the superhero when his friend called him asking for help in handing himself in to police.

He accompanied Danny Frayne to Bradford police station as a favour, after returning from Bradford City's cup final clash against Swansea at London's Wembley Stadium on February 24.

Mr Warby was dressed as the comic book hero when he anonymously took his 27-year-old friend to Trafalgar House police station in the early hours of February 25.

He told the Telegraph in London: ''It was a joke at the end of the day, and Danny wanted to go to the police station.

''I had spoken to Danny during the week and tried to knock some sense into him.

''It was getting on my nerves having police round all the time asking for him or his whereabouts.

''Who knows if I'll be doing some more crime-fighting in the future?''

Police in West Yorkshire said the mystery caped crusader told them: ''I've caught this one for you.''

Mr Frayne was later charged with handling stolen goods and fraud.
