Predator Living Statue Attack: Man Cautioned

A man has been cautioned by police after a video of him attacking a street performer dressed as sci-fi alien The Predator appeared online.

Mobile phone footage - which has been watched tens of thousands of times on YouTube - shows a young man grinning at the camera before running up to the living statue and shoving him off his podium.

The performer is thrown a few feet forward and lands on a little girl, almost catching her with the spiked axe he is holding.

Onlookers scream in shock as the man runs off laughing at the camera.

The incident happened outside the Bullring shopping centre in New Street, Birmingham, on Sunday.

A 20-year-old from Small Heath, Birmingham handed himself in on Tuesday and was given a police caution which will remain on his record, West Midlands Police said.

Police spoke to all parties involved in the assault and neither victim wanted to make an official complaint.
