Cops break up fight between bar patron, dude in eagle suit

Seattle's top law dog helped break up a sidewalk fight between a bar patron and a man in an eagle suit.

Lt. Kenneth Hicks, was leading Kerlikowske on a closing-time tour of the club district when the senior officers witnessed a man-on-eagle fracas. The officers watched as a 30-year-old Seattle man shoved the eagle to the curb and then stomped on the costumed man's back as the eagle's costumed confederate -- a man dressed as a beaver -- looked on.

Witnesses told police the costumed men had been jumping into traffic and harassing people on the sidewalk. The costume-clad men admitted to police that they had been jumping around the bar patron, but disputed the other man's claim that the eagle had landed on his back. » Article here
