Russian "Ninja" Arrested In Italy

...on suspicions of being an idiot.

This story's all sorts of weird.

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.

Police had been searching for him for several weeks.

For several weeks the police had been scouring the countryside looking for shadows.

The "ninja" was known to have struck several times - his head wrapped in a black bandana, a powerful bow in one hand and a knife strapped to his leg.

He targeted isolated farms late at night forcing farmers to hand over cash and valuables at arrow point.

...

But on Monday night the "ninja" was outwitted.

As he smashed through the door of a farmhouse, a feisty old pensioner was waiting for him.

The old man came down the stairs but tripped on the last step letting off his rifle.

Ummm... the pensioner picked up a rifle and was going to shoot the intruder. "Outwitted." Yeah, grabbing a powerful firearm with which to shoot someone is classic tactic in a "battle of wits." It's a regular Kobyashi Maru maneuver.

Anyone remember the time Laurence Taylor "outwitted" Joe Thiesman's leg in three places? Some real mental jujitsu he used there. Total neurobatic pwnag3.

Whatever, it's the BBC, they're idiots. Let's move on.

Startled, the "ninja" made his escape, hopping onto a bicycle and racing off into the nearby cornfields - followed by police who were quickly on the scene.

...


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

Yes, Robin Hood, the famous bicycle ninja who robbed poor farmers.

Thanks to herbert.
