AUBURN (AP) — Police in Auburn are looking for an armed man they say wore a Spider-Man mask while robbing a city convenience store.
Deputy Chief Jason Moen says the man showed a knife to a clerk in a Big Apple store at about 2 a.m. Monday and demanded money.
The Sun Journal reports that the suspect fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash and ran through Bonney Park.
A store customer chased the suspect but was punched by the man in the park. The customer was treated at the scene.
The suspect was described as a thin, white male wearing a blue, hooded sweatshirt, dark pants and the mask. He is about 5-feet, 3- inches tall and was last seen crossing the foot bridge into Lewiston.
