LOS ANGELES, Feb. 3 (UPI) -- Police in Los Angeles were looking for Catwoman and two sidekicks Thursday after Jack Sparrow was assaulted in a fight among people dressed as movie characters.
The costumed characters pose for pictures with tourists on Hollywood Boulevard and expect to be paid for the service, the Los Angeles Times reported. Local ordinances bar them from asking directly for money, although they are permitted to accept tips.
In recent months, SpongeBob Squarepants and Spider-Man have both been arrested after altercations.
Police Officer Norma Eisenman said Thursday's fracas played out in front of an audience of tourists. The injured man, dressed as the lead pirate in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, was not seriously hurt.
Catwoman, an alien and another pirate took off before police arrived, and officers fanned out to look for them.
