Judge issues arrest warrant for absent free-runner

A man found on the kitchen roof of a house in Cork, who claimed he was engaged in the wall-jumping sport of free-running, decided to free himself of the obligation to come to court yesterday.

At Cork District Court Judge Leo Malone issued a bench warrant for the free-runner’s arrest.

Eddie Burke, solicitor, reminded Judge Malone yesterday: “This is the man who was doing free-running, jumping over walls of gardens.”
