Santa Marta (Colombia), July 14 (IANS/EFE) A mentally unstable man stole an ambulance from a hospital here to search for Brazilian striker Neymar.
The authorities arrested the man, who drove the vehicle 13 km away from where it was stolen. Local media reported that while he was being arrested, he shouted "Leave me, Neymar is waiting for me", reports Efe.
The man gave the car keys to the police with no resistance. His relatives got him released from custody on the plea that he is mentally disturbed.
Neymar sustained a fractured vertebra during the quarterfinal against Colombia in the World Cup.
