Not us. (Stan was just a bystander in the Gumby outfit)

Yes, we were on Hollywood Boulevard yesterday, but we didn't see a thing, officers:

The L.A. Times reports in today's edition:

LAPD seeks witnesses to Jack Sparrow, 

catwoman brawl in Hollywood

The Los Angeles Police Department is trying to sort of the details of a fight in front of the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood on Thursday evening involving several people dressed as characters.

The incident was the latest run-in between characters who pose for pictures with tourists and then aggressively demand money.

In the most recent case, an unidentified man dressed as Jack Sparrow was pepper-sprayed by an attacker, police said. The attack occurred during a fracas involving people dressed as Catwoman, an alien and a second pirate, police sources said.

No arrests were made, and no one was seriously hurt, Officer Norma Eisenman said. But police are looking for witnesses and trying to determine if anyone in the tourist area took photos or video.

In September, a man dressed as SpongeBob SquarePants was detained by police outside Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood after an altercation with two women. In another incident, Spider-Man was led away in handcuffs
