LOS ANGELES (AP) – Police say several people dressed as movie characters on Hollywood Boulevard got into a brawl that ended with a man dressed as “Pirates of the Caribbean” character Capt. Jack Sparrow being pepper-sprayed.
Officer Rosario Herrera says it’s unclear why the Sparrow character, made famous in the movies by Johnny Depp, got into a fight with people dressed as Catwoman and an alien in front of the Kodak Theatre Thursday evening.
Officers responded to a call that there was a disturbance on the stretch of Hollywood Boulevard known to host costumed characters who hustle tourists for a few bucks in exchange for a photo with a celebrity lookalike.
Sparrow was treated for minor injuries. No arrests have been made.
