Ninja, hunter, nutcase

Connecticut -- Police arrested a man for climbing onto the roof of Watertown Plaza while allegedly claiming to be a "ninja," who then assaulted several officers after being placed under arrest.

Tuesday, November 14 at approximately 1:10 p.m., a police officer responded to the report of an individual in Watertown Plaza climbing up street signs and utility poles and appearing to be trying to gain access to the roof. The subject attempted to walk away from the officer's approach but was pointed out by passerbys. As the officer approached the individual, it was that observed that his pant legs were rolled up to his knees, he wore a ripped shirt and a bandana around his neck.

When questioned, the 21-year-old Bethlehem resident claimed, in a menacing manner, that he was "a ninja" and was "practicing to hunt lions."

At Police Headquarters he was placed in a holding cell prior to being formally fingerprinted and he began to climb the bars and hang upside down in the cell.
