A British fugitive accused of raping two women he met on Tinder in Scotland was arrested as he worked out on a Costa del Sol beach.
James Clacher, 55, was hanging upside down on a rope as he honed his muscles during a punishing strength training routine when he was jumped on by two plain-clothes officers posing as tourists.

HOW HE WAS ARRESTED
Video footage showed one cop with a sunhat on running up to Clacher, who feigned his disappearance in a Scottish lake two years ago before going on the run, as a female police officer approached him from behind.
They and two other colleagues who arrived seconds later pinned the well-built Scot to the sand before handcuffing his hands behind his back and hauling him away from the beach.

Detectives let him cover up his tattooed bare chest with a T-shirt before taking him to a police station where he was fingerprinted and had his mugshot taken.
Spain’s Civil Guard revealed Clacher’s keep-fit obsession proved his downfall and led to his detention in the Costa del Sol tourist resort of Nerja, east of Malaga.
