Caped Crusader Saves the Day in English Town
Tue May 6,10:07 AM ET


LONDON (Reuters) - A masked and caped do-gooder has been sweeping through an English town, performing good deeds and scattering terrified bad guys, a local newspaper reported.

The Kent and Sussex Courier said Friday it had received letters from "stunned residents" of the town of Tunbridge Wells, southeast of London, who saw the man in a brown mask and cape scare off hooligans and return a woman's dropped purse.

"To my great surprise," the paper quoted 21-year-old psychology student Ellen Neville as saying, "a masked man wearing a brown cape rushed past me to assist a woman who was having a bother with a group of youths.

"He swept in, broke up the commotion and ran off, leaving myself and the woman in a state of shock," she said.

A man wrote to say he was being chased by some youths when the hero appeared and "shocked the gang so much they ran off."

Another woman wrote to say the crusader had tapped her on her shoulder to return her purse.

"If only there were more people around with this kind-hearted spirit," she said.

BTW, it wasn't Bods.

A Caped crusader was reported to be doing good deeds in Tunbridge Wells during the Bank Holiday break. People watched in disbelief as a man wearing a brown cape and mask "swept" on to The Pantiles to rescue victims.

The Kent and Sussex Courier has received letters from stunned residents who watched as he "came from nowhere" to lend a helping hand on Monday last week.

Although activities with entertainers were organised for the historic colonnade to celebrate the holiday, no traders claim to have employed the services of a super hero.

Counselling and psychotherapy student from Eridge 21-year-old Ellen Neville was having a drink outside Chaplin's wine bar at about 7.30pm.

She said: "Up to the day I had never experienced the strange phenomenon of what most people refer to as the "good old days".

Surprise

"To my great surprise though a masked man wearing a brown cape rushed past me to assist a woman who was having bother with a group of youths.

:He swept in, broke up the commotion and ran off leaving myself and the woman in a state of shock. We thought it was hilarious."

Miss Neville, who admitted the eccentric do-gooder may have been a mere mortal in fancy dress, added: "Is it possible that we have a local hero? Well done to him, whoever he is.

On the same day Ruth Barker from Mount Ephraim claimed she was "tapped on the shoulder" by the man who returned her purse.

"He said I had dropped it while I was checking my handbag for tissues. If only there were more people around with this kind-hearted spirit," she said.

It appears the good turns were not limited to females, Peter Norfolk of Grove Hill Road even went so far as to claim the man appeared on the end of the rope. He said he had been chased by some youths when the man "shocked the gang so much they ran off. He saved me from a good beating," he said.

Not sure, but if he is the caped crusader I'm a bit narked off that he didn't mention he was in my neck of the woods - we could have met up for a drink.
