Grim Reaper On Hospital Roof? UK Man's Strange 50-Minute Stunt Ends In Arrest · news18.com

A man in Wales dressed up like the Grim Reaper, the scary make-believe character with a dark hood and a long blade.

He climbed onto the roof of a hospital and stood right above the main entrance.

He looked down at the patients, visitors and workers below without moving.

People at the hospital were surprised and worried, so they called the police.

Police and firefighters came to the hospital to deal with the situation.

The man stayed on the roof for about 50 minutes before he was arrested.

In court, he said he was guilty of causing a disturbance at the hospital.

He was told to pay a fine.

His costume looked a lot like a big black crow.

Nobody knows why he did it, because no explanation was given in court.
