A Batman enthusiast who dressed up as his hero to aid police in their fight against crime has been arrested after being accused of molesting an underage girl.
Zoltan Kohari first donned the outfit three years ago, helping locals in his hometown of Dunajska Streda in south west Slovakia.
His bid to fight crime caught the attention of locals, with neighbour Lenka Brezikova saying: "He has had a tough life but he is doing good now, helping to keep an eye on the public."
The unemployed 29-year-old is now facing charges of sexually assaulting a young girl alongside a separate charge of loan fraud.
A police spokesman said: "Regarding the abuse charge, he was initially arrested in 2013 and sentenced to four years in prison, but the judge suspended the verdict saying he wanted a further investigation done.
"Kohari was supposed to appear in court this month but failed to do so and so an arrest warrant was issued.
"In relation to the second charge of fraud, he had applied for a loan of 22,000 GBP which was turned down and he only got 1,500 GBP.
"A loan for the full amount was later given to a company that had been set up in his name, however he denies that this second loan and the company that received it was anything to do with him."
