A 26-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested after climbing onto a hospital roof to stare at staff and visitors while dressed in a “Grim Reaper” outfit.
Cops and firefighters were called after the man dressed head to toe in the eerie black hooded outfit was seen standing still overlooking the hospital entrance in St Asaph, Denbighshire.

Hospital visitors were shocked at the rooftop show by the mystery figure at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd hospital on Saturday.
Leon Gillespie was also seen brandishing what appeared to be long blade or “scythe”.
Four police cars and a fire service vehicle were seen at the hospital during the bizarre 50-minute long incident.
Gillespie, of Deganwy, pleaded guilty to the offence, and was handed a £200 fine by Llandudno magistrates.
No reason was given for his behaviour although his outfit was also described as being a “crow.”
He was ordered to pay £50 in compensation, £100 in fines, and £100 in costs to the Crown Prosecution Service.
In addition, he admitted stealing £30-40 of cat food and cat litter from Pets at Home on March 26, and food and drink from Sainsbury’s on May 28.
Both were committed in Llandudno.
A spokesperson for Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board said: “The health board has previously stated it has a zero tolerance approach to abuse, aggression or nuisance within its hospital sites.”
