SEATTLE (AP) - The Seattle auto style superhero Phoenix Jones wrote on his Facebook page that was back in the squad on Monday night.

He had to use a backup suit after police took his black suit and yellow on Sunday when he was arrested for investigation of assault. He is accused of using pepper spray in four people who were dancing after leaving a nightclub.

Jones, whose real name is John Francis Benjamin Fodor, says he was trying to stop a fight when attacked.

He spent nearly seven hours in jail before posting bail $ 3,800. Jones is due in court Thursday.

Police spokesman Mark Jamieson says he can not go around with pepper spray because they think people who are struggling.

Jones says he is the leader of the Movement of Rain City Superhero.
