A street performer dressed as Chewbacca was arrested Thursday after butting a tour guide operator in the head in front of Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, according to police. The tour guide said the man in the Chewbacca costume exploded after he asked him to stop bothering two Japanese tourists. The man in the costume, 44-year-old Frederick Evan Young, is one of many street performers who flock to Grauman's Chinese Theater to entertain tourists. Last year the city passed an ordinance to prevent incidents like the one Young is involved in after tourists complained performers would get aggressive and abusive if they didn't pay for pictures.
