From NY Post: Affray in a manger …
Bizarre images show the moment a fugitive migrant on the run in Italy was spotted trying to blend into a Christmas Nativity scene by pretending to be one of the Three Wise Men.
The mayor of the town uncovered the unholy ruse — although he said he first thought about contacting the organizers of the outdoor scene to praise them because the “statue” was so lifelike.
Then, it moved
In the background of the festive scene, an individual, whose lack of wisdom was evident, attempted to emulate the life-size statues standing beside him.
His attempt was futile, however, and he was taken into custody.
The individual, a 38-year-old Ghanaian migrant, had allegedly assaulted an officer and had been resisting arrest.
Prior to his capture, he had been sentenced to nine and a half months in prison by a court in Bologna. He escaped southward, making his way to the heel of the boot, and onto the holy scene.
