NYC PAPERS OUT. Social media use restricted to low res file max 184 x 128 pixels and 72 dpiMy bet is that he agreed to become a snitch.

New York Daily News – by SHAYNA JACOBS

An accused Times Square “Spider-Man” cop-puncher was cleared Friday after prosecutors declined to bring a case against him.

Junior Bishop, 25, was charged with assault, criminal mischief and resisting arrest after allegedly clocking a cop, breaking the officer’s glasses and causing injuries to his face in the July scuffle as cops tried to arrest the comic character for soliciting tips, officials said.  

On Friday, the Manhattan district attorney’s office consented to the case’s dismissal on speedy trial grounds.

Prosecutors did not give a reason for the unusual move.

  1. “Prosecutors did not give a reason for the unusual move.”

    Damn unusual. Hitting a pig is almost always a slam-dunk.

    Even if it didn’t really happen.

  2. Spiderman…Spiderman, punchin cops like a spider can.
    Jumpin around all over the place,
    Punchin cops right in the face,
    Lookout…here comes the Spiderman.
