Witnesses told police the Tin Man had been punched by his friend the Scarecrow and ran away with the Cowardly Lion.
“Turns out the Tin Man didn’t have the heart to lay charges against his friend, and refused to tell the officers anything,” police said in a media release.
The assault victim suffered minor injuries.
Officers believe alcohol was involved.
