PITTSBURGH,None — Pittsburgh police said a man tried to carjack a plainclothes officer near filming for the latest Batman movie -- and allegedly told him it was part of the script.
Detective Robert DiGiacomo was in an unmarked vehicle at about 7:15 p.m. last Saturday near the intersection of Walnut and Ivy Street in Shadyside, looking for a suspect in an assault. That's when police said a man who matched the suspect's description opened the car door, sat down and told the officer to get out.
"As I was sitting there the passenger side door opens and pretty tall white male sits down right in the passenger seat, puts his feet in, gets ready to shut the door and tells me to get out of the vehicle," said Detective Robert DiGiacomo. "He says, 'Get out of the car.' So the second it takes to process I unhook my seat belt, get out, draw my weapon on him, order him out of the car, pull my badge out and say 'Pittsburgh police.'"
DiGiacomo said Micah Calamosca, 21, told him he was part of filming for "The Dark Knight Rises" and that taking the vehicle was in the script.
Police said DiGiacomo was actually the man he was originally looking for.
Calamosca was taken into custody and faces several charges. He is expected to appear in court on Tuesday.
