Bikini Cop Arrest Thief
-
A Swedish police officer was sunbathing in her bikini when she and another woman pulled a suspected thief to the ground and she arrested him.
The event occurred in Stockholm, Sweden and the photo of Mikaela Kellner in her bikini and her female friend pinning the man to the ground has gone viral.
She said she would do it again if she had to. Kellner said she did not hesitate at all to make the arrest while she was in a bikini.
Kellner added, “If I had been naked I would have intervened as well.”
“My first intervention while wearing a bikini during my 11 years as a police officer,” she posted on Instagram
As reported by the AP, Kellner and three of her friends were sunbathing in a park in the Swedish city when a homeless man approached them. He was selling newspapers.
One of Kellner’s friends noticed that her phone was missing after the man left, according to the Aftonbladet, a newspaper in Sweden.
David Klinger posted on Kellner’s Facebook page about competing with her in the 2015 World Police and Fire Games and said she is an “amazing athlete. He said she came in first place in the “Toughest Competitor Alive” event.
( Facebook) I had the pleasure and honor of sharing the field with Mikaela at the World Police and Fire Games last year and know her to be an amazing athlete (she placed first in the Toughest Competitor Alive event). Turns out she's an awesome police officer as well. She was hanging out at a park in Stockholm last week enjoying the day when a guy stole her friend's cell phone and tried to run off. He didn't get far before Mikaela ran him down and held him for the on duty police to deal with. She's gained superhero status now that someone has made a cartoon version of her as bikini cop.
Mikaela has also appeared on “Ninja Warrior Sweden,” described as a show where “[t]he very best and most physically fit people take on the world’s toughest obstacle course.” The show follows “125 of Sweden’s most well-trained and versatile athletes as they take on the Ninja Warrior course in search of glory and a half million Swedish Crownes.”
