LONDON (AP) — A man dressed as Batman has brought a suspected burglar into a police station in northern England.

West Yorkshire Police said Monday that they do not know the identity of the man who appeared in "a full Batman outfit" and turned in a 27-year-old suspect to police in Bradford, England.

CCTV images released by police show a caped crusader — fully-clad with the comic hero's boots, gloves and logo across his chest — standing alongside a man in a red hooded sweatshirt.

Police said the handover occurred on February 25 and the suspect will appear in court on March 8 charged with handling stolen goods and fraud-related offenses.

3. He's the hero West Yorkshire needs but not the one it deserves right now.

He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector, a Dork Knight.

A mystery figure who dressed as Batman and handed a wanted man in at a police station has been unmasked.

Stan Worby, 39, said he accompanied his friend in Bradford while dressed as the caped crusader as a joke.

The takeaway delivery driver said he was "gobsmacked" when his exploits were covered by worldwide media on Monday.

Mr Worby and his friend Daniel Frayne 27, walked into Trafalgar House Police Station in the early hours of 25 February.
