Weird News: Elmo Arrested In Times Square

You never know what you're going to see in Times Square. That was certainly evident Tuesday, as 37 year old woman dressed as the character Elmo was arrested for demanding tips from tourists. Police say charges for aggressive solicitation were pending.

The arrest comes just days after a man dressed as Spider-Man, a man dressed as Batman, and a third man were all arrested for allegedly fighting.

From the NY Post via the Huffington Post 

The New York Post reports that 23-year-old Thomas Rorke allegedly grabbed Batman -- aka 41-year-old Jose Escalona-Martinez -- from behind and shouted, "I'm gonna fuck you, Batman.” Then, he allegedly grabbed Spider-man -- aka 35-year-old Abdel Elkahezai -- on the rear.

His Spider Sense clearly tingling, Elkahezai allegedly sprayed Rorke with his webbing, or at least his prop Silly String, the paper reported.
