Authorities in Chile have arrested a 28-year-old man who dressed as 'Spider-Man' and earned a living by impersonating the superhero in public. During a routine identity check in the Plazuela Ecuador area of Valparaíso, it was discovered that he had an active arrest warrant. The man had been a fugitive since January 2026, wanted on charges of conditional threats. He also has a criminal record for attempted homicide, simple threats, public fighting, and disorderly conduct. Following his arrest, he was handed over to the court, where his legal fate will be determined. Authorities highlighted that this procedure is part of an effort to increase patrols and improve security in the region.
