Not such a friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man! A rifle-toting man wearing a Spider-Man mask along with an accomplice has robbed a convenience store in the US state of Florida.
Police are seeking the public's help in finding the two men who robbed a '7-Eleven' store in Altamonte Springs, Florida, earlier this month.
A clerk said the robber in the Spider-Man mask pointed a rifle at her, pressing it into her back as he walked her to the safe, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
Police said when she told them she could not get into the safe, the robber pushed her to the ground and turned on a second clerk, who opened the register and gave the men an undisclosed amount of cash.
The robbers then fled in a dark vehicle with tinted windows, police said. It is not known what kind of car it was.
One of the men was wearing a Spider-Man mask during the robbery that occurred shortly after midnight on March 4, police said. He was reportedly wearing a black leather jacket, black hat and black-and-white pants.
The other suspect was wearing a black mask and was armed with a handgun, they said.
The suspects were at large and police were on the lookout for them.
