MELBOURNE - A mystery man in Scotland, who was caught on Google Streetview wearing a horse mask, has become an Internet sensation.
Russell Moffatt, a 50-year-old IT manager, spotted the man, who has been dubbed as ‘Horseboy’ in Britain, in Hardgate, Aberdeen, wearing a purple jumper and black jeans and the mask.
“I needed to get my glasses repaired and was looking for an optician’s shop when I suddenly saw this crazy guy,” the Herald Sun quoted him as saying.
“I thought it was really funny; he obviously spotted the Google car photographing streets in the area, ran to get a horse-head mask and laid in wait for it.
“I bet he’s been quietly smiling to himself ever since, waiting to be discovered,” he stated.
Moffatt, a father of one from Ellon, Aberdeenshire, found the discovery so amusing that he wrote about it on social networking site Twitter, and has asked for help in identifying Horseboy. (ANI)
