Batman chases thief and scales Norwich cathedral wall to return stolen handbag

A man dressed as Batman chased a suspected handbag thief through Norwich after witnessing a woman’s bag being snatched outside a nightclub. Sonni Mason, 25, was attending a fancy-dress party when he joined the pursuit alongside people dressed as Poison Ivy and Mister Fantastic.

Although the group caught up with the suspected thief, the handbag was missing. Following a tip-off, they discovered it approximately 300 metres away, on top of a high flint wall surrounding Norwich Cathedral.
