Man dressed as banana attacks man dressed as gorilla

A giant banana jumped a gorilla in Strongville on June 29, according to a report.

The manager at Verizon, 14150 Pearl Rd., called police at about 3 p.m. to say someone in a banana costume had just tackled his gorilla mascot in front of the store.



The banana, accompanied by four other males, then ran south on Pearl. Officers checked the area, but "GOA (gone on arrival) on banana," the report said.

The employee in the gorilla suit was not injured, just a little embarrassed, police said.
