His spider sense is tingling, and his head probably hurts a little. 

The New York Post has video of a street performer/panhandler dressed as Spider Man fighting with an NYPD officer before getting dropped to the sidewalk and arrested in Times Square.

The officer, who had his cap knocked off in the fight, is not too happy with Spider Man, telling him to "stop resisting, bitch!" in the video.

The Post reports that the fight started after the officer saw Spider Man allegedly demanding $10 a pop to take souvenir photos with tourists, because, well, Spider Man's gotta pay for Jordan 11s somehow. 

When the officer asked the man, whose real name is Junior Bishop, for ID, he allegedly tore off his spidey mask and told the officer it was none of his "f-----g business." When the officer went in to arrest him, the scuffle began. 

Bishop is being charged with felony assault for the fight. According to the Post, he's been in trouble before, pleading guilty to misdemeanor assault last year after punching a woman on a subway platform in Brooklyn. 

Other costumed characters defended Bishop, including a Mickey Mouse and a Batman from Harlem, who said the officer grabbed Bishop by the neck for no reason and tried to choke him, forcing him to resist.
