According to police, the 24-year-old made a comment about the costume and the individual dressed as an Angry Bird began to assault the man and knocked him to the ground.
The Angry Bird continued to punch and kick the 24-year-old, who sustained serious but not life-threatening injuries.
Police say there were a number of people in the area at the time of the assault and would like to speak with anyone who has information or video regarding the incident.
