This alleged thief had to be rushed to hospital last night after being impaled on a fence.
The incident took place at the East London museum.
The suspect is alleged to have broken down the back door to the museum. The alarm went off, giving him a fright, and he ran away.
He climbed a tree and then attempted to jump over the fence. However, he lost his footing and was impaled by one of the spikes on the fence.
The man was discovered by a tow truck driver who heard his cries.
