Amid the coronavirus outbreak, a 77 year old man has been arrested by police in Madrid, Spain. Though, people are advised to not step out of the houses for the safety. Nevertheless, there are also few people who are enough daring to violate the lockdown in the times of pandemic.

The old man was hunting Pokemon on his phone on the streets. The police saw him during the lockdown and arrested him for the same.
