London Marathon: Runner with fridge stopped by police
A marathon trainee said police nearly mistook him for a thief after they saw him running with a fridge on his back.
Daniel Fairbrother was stopped by officers in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, while practising for the London Marathon, external.
He said the officers quickly realised he was not stealing anything and "it ended with them shaking my hand".
Daniel hopes carrying a fridge will help to raise £10,000 for Diabetes UK - he's been speaking to the BBC's Jon Kay and Sally Nugent.
