London - A mystery man dressed as Batman demonstrated the same crime-fighting skills as the caped crusader when he handed over a suspect wanted for burglary in Britain.

Surveillance footage showed a portly figure wearing an ill-fitting costume including gloves, cape and mask, bringing a 27-year-old man to a police station in Bradford in northern England.

The suspect was arrested and charged with handling stolen goods and fraud-related offences, according to the force. But the costumed crime-fighter disappeared into the night without leaving his name.

"The person who brought the wanted man into the station was dressed in a full Batman outfit," a spokeswoman for West Yorkshire Police said. "His identity, however, remains unknown."

The suspect was handed over early on February 25. Police released photos of the footage Monday.

I find myself curious as to exactly how Batman overpowered the assailant.

The Bradford 'Batman' who handed over a burglary suspect to cops before disappearing into thenight has been 'unmasked' as a Chinese takeaway driver.
The mystery man was the talk of Twitter after his 'heroics'.
Now Batman has been revealed as Stan Worby.
Stan, dressed in Batman's trademark cape, mask, gloves and boots, told cops, “I’ve caught this one for you” before vanishing into the dark night.
He revealed today that the suspect was in fact his friend, Danny Frayne, who officers had been trying to get to attend the police station.
He drove 27-year-old Danny to the police station after returning from Bradford City's cup final game against Swansea at Wembleywhere he had been supporting his team wearing fancy dress.
Mr Worby, from Bradford, told the Daily Telegraph: "I got a call from Dannywhilst I was at Wembley and he said, 'can you run me to the cop station?' But as I was in London I couldn't.
"I told him as soon asI was home I would run him to Bradford central police station.We got back about 1am, and I picked Danny up in a minibus at 1.30am.
"I'd had a lot to drinkand it was a great day out - I got some strange looks when I got to the cop stationthough. One policeman looked at me and just laughed.
"I said to the policeman, ‘I deserve a medal, I'm a caped crusader’.”
He added: "It was a joke at the end of theday and Danny wanted to go to the police station. I had spoken to Danny during the week and tried to knock some sense into him. It was getting on my nerves having police round all the time asking for him or his whereabouts.
"Danny's a good friend of mine and I've known him for 15 years or so. Who knows if I'll be doing some more crime-fighting in the future?"
Danny Frayne, 27, was charged with handling stolen goods and fraud offences and will appear in court on Friday.
A tweeter claiming tobe the vigilante, under the name @RealBradfordBat, later had a message for crooks.
He wrote: “I’m the Bradford Batman. And I’m here to cleanup Bradford.”
A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said: “Last week we had a very strange occurrence at the police station when amale wanted in relation to an offenceon our area was ‘escorted’ into our helpdesk at TrafalgarHouse by Batman.
“Batman came into the helpdesk, stated to the staff, ‘I’ve caught this one for you’, and then promptly vanished into the night. The whole bizarre incident was captured on CCTV.”
