Russian 'ninja' arrested in Italy

Italian police have arrested a Russian "ninja" who had been spreading fear across farmlands in the north of the country.

The man, camouflaged in an all black suit, had robbed several farmers and their families at knife point, police say.

He was identified as Igor Vaclavic, a former soldier from the Russian army.

When asked about his chosen disguise, he told police he had been inspired by his boyhood idol - Robin Hood.
