CHANGHUA (TVBS News) — Taiwanese police arrested a man for a raincoat prank that caused a stir in Changhua County's Xizhou Township on Thursday (Nov. 9).
The suspect inflated a raincoat with hydrogen three days earlier, allowing it to float and crossroads on its own, authorities said.
The so-called "raincoat ghost" incident initially puzzled officers, who suspected it might be a mechanized flag holder left by construction workers. However, surveillance footage later revealed a man deliberately filling the raincoat with hydrogen.
A resident of the area, the man sealed the head and hand sections of the raincoat with double-sided tape before filling it with the gas, an act he said he did for fun and meant no harm, police said.
