A man dressed in a black Spider-Man suit attacked and robbed a woman Monday shortly after posing for a photo in Broward, police said.
Lequan Steven Payne, 36, was charged with robbery and resisting an officer. As of Wednesday, he remains in the Broward Sheriff’s Office Main Jail on a $6,000 bond.
Late Monday night, the Hollywood man bicycled by Laundromart Hollywood located on North Federal Highway clad in bright yellow shorts and the Spider-Man suit when a woman stopped him and asked for a picture, according to the Hollywood Police Department.
Hours later as the woman walked away from the laundromat, Payne hit her in the back of the head, police said. As she lay on the ground, he took $45 from her and fled, they said.
Hollywood police eventually found him riding his bicycle, still wearing the Spider-Man get-up, and arrested him.
The woman did not want to be treated by paramedics.
