A superhero guards this UK town

London, April 27: Superhero tales may be a figment of imagination, reel life and comics but for a street in the United Kingdom this has become a sort of reality in their daily life. A 25-year-old man masquerading as a ninja has pledged to keep his identity secret as he helps out on the streets.

The not-so-rare thing happens daily on the streets of Royal Tunbridge Wells.

A local has been quoted as saying, "It was very odd, but the ladies were happy. Then I saw him stand outside a shop where undesirables hang out and they moved on quite quickly."

The Sun quoted the so-called superhero as saying, "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. The message I want to get across is about people sticking together and reporting incidents."

But the deeds that he performs doesn't involve tackling menacing super-villains, rather he does something more sensible and helps people in their daily lives. His pictures show him returning a lost cat and people narrate tales of him helping old people cross the road.
