DHAKA: Spider-Man and Batman, two costumed characters have been arrested from New York City's Times Square for alleged fighting.

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 f**k you, Batman”.

Then, he allegedly grabbed Spider-man, aka 35-year-old Abdel Elkahezai, on the rear last night.

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

Soon enough, punches were thrown. Rorke appears to have gotten the worst of it following he was socked repeatedly in the face and chest.

“He (Rorke) was intoxicated and messing with Batman and they got into it,” a rival Spider-man, 50-year-old Paul Smith, told the media.

“Everybody, no matter what costume they are wearing, has the right to protect themselves. It's like Stand Your Ground in Florida,” he added.

However, media said that all three were arrested.
