A policeman in Sweden seized a fugitive criminal on Friday evening while both were naked in a sauna, after stumbling upon him by chance, the Telegraph reported.
The officer was visiting the sauna, which is known in Sweden as a 'bastu', on his day off.
He soon realised that one of the men sweating next to him in the crowded room was a convicted criminal who was on the run after being sentenced to jail for drugs offences.
"By a coincidence, and in way that is quite comic, they both recognised each other in the sauna," Christoffer Bohman, deputy police chief in the Stockholm district of Rinkeby, told Sweden's state broadcaster SVT.
As the wanted man had also been found guilty of attempting to assault a public servant, the arrest was potentially dangerous.
