Remember the scene from Only Fools & Horses when Del and Rodney foil a mugging whilst dressed as Batman and Robin? Well, fact has brought fiction to life!
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 20:00 on 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."
