Via the New York Post:
Superman, aka Maksim Katsnelson, 23, of The Bronx, was arrested and charged with assault and resisting arrested [sic], police said, accusing him of punching a female officer in the face while she was trying to subdue him.
And:
If that wasn't weird enough, McCormick turned and saw the Dark Knight handcuffed to a chair like a common villain."As this was happening, someone is like, 'It's Batman!' I turn around and there's Batman in handcuffs," he said.
That is all.

New York Police arrested two young twenty somethings for dressing up like the famed superhoeros last night. Police approached Maksim Katsnelson, (Superman) and Frank Frisoli (Batman) and asked if they had a license to perform in costume in public. When they said no they were asked for ID and they said they had no ID.
Batman was subdued quietly but superman freaked out and had to be taken down by seven cops. Kids were watching the whole thing in disbelief. Do New York City police have nothing else to do than arrest these kids because they were wearing costumes? The question really is, should there be a license required to wear a costume? I don’t know if they were actually performing but were liberal democrats out there complaining that regulation had to happen to stop Metropolis from beating down people on main street?
Batman was released but Superman was charged with assault and resisting arrest. I can understand the assault part, but I just love how you can be arrested for resisting arrest. The assault part never would have happened if the kid wasn’t being arrested in the first place? So what was he being arrested for initially, resisting arrest?
Sure dressing up in tights and a cape without ID in New York City isn’t the smartest thing to do, but did this kid really need to have a criminal record forced upon him? The police should have sent them home at most if they were disturbing the pace or sent them off to get a license.
If superman were real I’m sure he would have been arrested by now for breaking numerous FAA regulations. What a sad land of bureaucracy we live in.
