Friendly neighborhood Spider-Man we think not. 35-year-old Phillip Williams was arrested and charged with assault Sunday afternoon after getting into an argument with an unidentified 44-year-old woman. Apparently, the woman declined to tip Williams after he posed for photos with her children. By the way—all of this occurred while Williams was dressed as Spider-Man.

The New York Post offered more of the unfortunate details:

Nothing like Spider-Man confusion to ruin a calm Sunday with the family. Somewhere, J. Jonah Jameson is talking through his mustache, complaining about how Spider-Man (or Spider-Men, in this case) are ruining the city.
