Yafet Askale is not an actual zombie.

Yafet Askale said he was not trying to break into a car in London.

Unfortunately for him, the car he was not trying to break into was a trap set up by police, and it sprayed him with a liquid that glows under ultraviolet light.

Police are now using his zombified image to warn other potential car thieves in the area.
