Toronto police warn of 'Spider-Man' webbing downtown intersection

Friend… or foe?

While Spider-Man is known to be a “friend,” Toronto Police are warning of a man dressed as the comic book character… who may not be so friendly.

According to Toronto Police, as of Tuesday at 2:50 pm, the man dressed as Spider-Man has thrown lines/rope over streetcar wires at Queen and Spadina.

The Spider-Man has allegedly also “webbed” off part of the sidewalk.
