UK Batman unmasks as takeaway deliverer
A takeaway delivery man reveals that he is the mysterious crime-fighter whose image went viral online after he walked into a British police station dressed as Batman and handed over a wanted man.
Stan Worby, 39, said yesterday he was "gobsmacked" by worldwide coverage of his antics and revealed that the man he turned into police was a friend.
Worby sparked a wave of theories about his identity on Monday when police released a CCTV image of a man dressed as the comic book hero, delivering the suspect to a police station in Bradford, northern England.
He told dumbstruck officers: "I've caught this one for you!" before vanishing into the night on the early hours of February 25.
Danny Frayne, 27, is charged with handling stolen goods and fraud-related offences and will appear in court on Friday.
Worby, who works for a Chinese takeaway, said his friend had wanted to hand himself in. "Obviously it was done as a joke," Worby told ITV television.
Worby said he had been at a football match in London on February 24 - wearing the Batman outfit - when Frayne called to ask if he could give him a lift to the police station.
"I told him as soon as I was home I would run him to Bradford central police station."
