Batman, Robin, the Hoff and a Smurf apprehended attacker in toilet roll aisle at Tesco

A group of people dressed as Batman, Robin, David Hasselhoff and a Smurf helped police officers catch a criminal in an East Lothian supermarket.



A man dressed as Robin was on Eskview Road in Musselburgh when he was assaulted just before 8pm last Friday.

He and his friends, who were all in fancy dress, called police before chasing the attacker into Tesco. After a scuffle in the toilet roll aisle, a 21-year-old man was arrested. He later pled guilty in court.



A Police Scotland spokesman said: "A 21-year-old man was arrested and charged in connection with an assault in Eskview Road, Musselburgh, on Friday 1 November. He was remanded in custody until Monday 4th November, where he appeared in court and pled guilty to the offence."
