Man In Superman Costume Attacks Motorists

Police say a 21-year-old man dressed as Superman attacked some motorists in Ann Arbor early Sunday.
A group of men stopped their car to talk to some friends outside an Ann Arbor home when the alleged attacker jumped out from behind some bushes and into the vehicle,
"I guess this young man jumped in the back seat of the victim's vehicle and just started hitting him and when the victim attempted to call using his cell phone, (Superman) grabbed the cell phone and he stomped on it," said Sgt. Angella Abrams, of the Ann Arbor Police Department.
The victims said when they got out of the car, people from the house party came toward the car, and a large street fight broke out, according to The Ann Arbor News.
No one was fighting when officers arrived, but two witnesses were able to show digital pictures they took of the alleged attacker, police told the paper.
Officers spotted the man in the crowd -- wearing a red spandex Superman costume -- and arrested him, the paper reported.
"He was in costume, and it was a pretty terrible Superman costume at that," said Mark Majewski, who witnessed the incident.
The motive for the attack was not known, according to police.
The identity of the man wearing the Superman costume was being withheld pending possible charges of assault and battery.

Poor Clinton. It was only a matter of time. Nearly a 'Buddy Moment' but not quite.

this is just another scheme by lex luthor to make superman look bad
or perhaps it was bizarro superman
To: esryle
Wasn't it in one of the Superman movies where there was a bad Superman. Judging by the tragedy that has befallen the past actors to play Superman that's the last outfit I would wear.
To: GreenLanternCorps
First of all it WAS kryptonite that caused this.
Lex Luthor created some synthetic kryptonite that would cause Supes to act like a mean drunk.
What we need to do is dip him in molten lead. Then he's protected and he can fly off to Lex's Legion of Doom hq and crack some skulls. DAMN YOU BIZZARO!

Probably the same person the hip-hop crowd will vote for. Nobody.

"The identity of the man wearing the Superman costume was being withheld pending possible charges of assault and battery." At least they're showing defference to his secret identity.

He forgot to change back into Clark Kent. Superman has forgot his own MO.

HEY! I'm sorry. I really don't like cell phones. Couldn't help it. Of course he doesn't like them. With the prevelance of cell phones, there are no more phone booths for him to change clothes in. ;o)
