No, not THAT William Wallace.

Australian fugitive Wallace, 50, is currently being sought by police in the southern state of Victoria in relation to a string of assault charges.

Described as tall, medium build, blue eyes and blonde hair, officers are appealing for information to trace his whereabouts.

A report by Melbourne’s Herald Sun newspaper knowingly states that Wallace “has his freedom for the moment”, and that cops will “hope his heart is brave enough to call in at a police station”.

One commenter quipped that the fugitive should be “obvious wandering around in a kilt” in the cold weather of the Australian winter.

It is understood Mr Wallace is still at large.
