A popular internet clip has shown a man being detained and later fined for wearing a Spiderman costume on HCM City’s Nguyen Hue pedestrian street.

The man detained and later fined for wearing a Spiderman costume 

According to the clip, the young man in Spiderman costume was detained by security officers on Nguyen Hue Street.  

Many people said that this kind of activity did not harm the street and just made the street more colourful.

"The Spiderman image is quite well known, particularly to children, so, it should be encouraged,” said Vo Kim Hung from HCM City’s District 5.

However, according to authorities of Ben Nghe Ward, business activities are banned on Nguyen Hue Street. Many people wear Spiderman or Mickey Mouse costumes to earn money from taking photos.

After taking photos, people are invited to buy sweets. As a result, the man in the video was fined VND150,000 (USD6.81).

Earlier this year, a man was also fined because for wearing a Spiderman costume for the same purpose on Nguyen Hue Street.
