Man arrested in Pakistan for roaming the streets dressed as a werewolf

A man was arrested in Pakistan for wandering the streets dressed as a werewolf and scaring people on New Year’s Eve.

Shah Qabool police arrested the man in Peshawar for allegedly making noises as he passed people on his motorcycle, according to local media.

Police say they are investigating the man’s motives for wearing the costume while riding the motorcycle.

Photos of the man in disguise went viral on Twitter, where users shared their support for the man and urged police to release him.

Several Twitter users argue that the man was taking extra precautions to follow the restrictions and avoid Covid-19.

“People get scared of the guy and the new year doesn’t come out during the Covid season, everyone stays safe. Isn’t that a good thing?” asked a Twitter user.

“Perhaps he did not want to take risks in such an epidemic. That mask is an infallible weapon to fight Covid-19,” someone else said.

“Actually what he’s wearing is better than personal protective equipment. It would have kept people away and him safe from COVID,” another person tweeted.
