'Superhero' takes on clampers
Clad in a blue leotard and wielding a saw, a man claiming to be the UK's first wheel clamp vigilante is offering his services to motorists. Angle-grinder Man - a self-proclaimed superhero - patrols by night looking for unhappy drivers who have been clamped and then sets their cars free. He promises to take on clamping firms, speed cameras and the congestion charge on behalf of drivers.
An odd-job man by day, he claims to operate in Kent during the week and in London at weekends. A hotline number on his website offers a free wheel clamp removal service.
On calling, an answer phone message invites callers to "leave a message after the grinding sound". The unnamed man, who wears a costume of gold boots and crotch-hugging pants over a blue leotard, said he was happy to take the risk.
"It's a public service," he says on his website.
"I for one am prepared to fight for what is fair and am making myself available to the public.
