Pyjama-clad Ninja brings justice

Dressed head to toe in black, this ninja warrior stands ready to give hope to ordinary citizens on the mean streets of Royal Tunbridge Wells. The masked vigilante - who looks remarkably like a man in judo pyjamas and a balaclava - patrols the streets, righting wrongs and giving hope to the residents of the Kent town.

His feats include heroics such as returning lost cats to their owners and warning illegally parked drivers that they risk a parking fine. The anonymous 25-year-old is also on hand to help old ladies across the road - in deeds described as ‘odd’ by grateful recipients of his aid.

The Ninja has posted photographs and video of his crusade on a Facebook page and insists he is determined to bring justice to the streets. “Facebook seems to think I am not a real person but I can assure you that I am. The rumours are true. I am a ninja and I am patrolling Tunbridge Wells,” he said.

“It is my aim to help people, I am inspired by Neighbourhood Watch, which people seem to have forgotten about. So I’ve created Ninja Watch. There is still lots of trouble in Tunbridge Wells and the community does not seem to be as together as it used to be. The message I want to get across is serious, which is about people keeping watch, sticking together and reporting incidents.

I have found a missing cat and helped a few old ladies cross the road. Some were cautious, I’m sure you understand.” However critics have pointed out that his campaign has similarities to a hoax in 2003 in which local residents claimed a ‘caped crusader’ was fighting crime on the streets.

Sally Everson, 43, who saw the Ninja help some ladies across a road told the Sun: “It was very odd, but the ladies were happy. Then I saw him stand outside a shop where some undesirables hang out and they moved on quite quickly.”

West Kent Police said it was not aware of the Ninja and warned residents not to take the law into their own hands.
