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, Local 4 reported.
"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.
