He seemed to be extremely skilled at parkour, freely running across rooftops, walls, and treetops. He entered the main street, shook off numerous police officers on foot and in vehicles, crossed two blocks, then jumped onto a roaring train, and disappeared from sight.
When the train arrived at the next station, the local police rushed to check but found no trace of him.
And so he vanished before everyone's eyes, likely to continue his life as a thief and swindler, occasionally pickpocketing on trains when he felt like it.
The news media at the scene recorded these moments, then news outlets everywhere began reporting it as a bizarre incident.
For those at the gathering, this turn of events was truly dramatic, like a roller coaster ride. Everyone was particularly astonished by his nimble skills; he had easily evaded the police chase, a talent purely honed by his life of thievery and train pickpocketing.
