rofl omg wonder what the bloke they were after thought? and did he come up with a witty pun or something as they captured him?... did he have an alias like maybe "The Hyperdermic Weevle" or something?
this reminds me of an artical i was reading for one of my college projects about jack the ripper:
at the time JTR was about police were trying everything to trap him, some dressed as coachmen some as drunks in able to penetrate the underworld and catch a glimpse of him unnoticed, one even dressed as a prostitute (this was not authorised by the police, he just did it off his own merrit) any way this pc dressing up as a hooker became well known in the borough. One evening a pc was on the beat and he saw what was obviously a man in womans attire so he went up to him and asked "are you one of us?" meaning a copper, the man in a dress was an undercover reporter and thought the pc was making a homosexuamal remark so walloped him and was then arrested for assulting a police officer.
you dont imagine those sort of shinnanigens going on in victorian london now do you?
