A street performer and his partner dressed as Mickey and Minnie Mouse
were questioned by Spanish police after a brawl with a heckler in a
square in the Spanish capital Madrid.
The punch-up happened when entertainers Fazzio and Ticiana Yanez lost
their temper at a persistent critic.
Yanez ripped off his Mickey Mouse head and then grappled with the
heckler, getting him in a headlock.
His partner then took off her Minnie head as she followed the tussle
around the square shouting abuse and grabbing at the man's clothing.
Passer-by Aristobulo Olivarez said:
"It's certainly not something you see every day."
He added: "He'd been heckling their balloon bending magic act for some time and it seems they'd had enough."
Police halted the brawl by separating the heckler - later identified as Vero Arreola - and Yanez, who by now had a bloody nose.
Minnie performer Ticiana said: "We have a good children's show but he just wouldn't leave us alone."
Police spokesman Seneca Nino said: "Three people have been interviewed
over a public disturbance."
The incident could also have unfortunate consequences for the costumed
pair after local Disney representatives said they were not licensed, and
officials are compelled to take action to ban them from using the
cartoon characters in future.
