Seattle ( CNN ) -- Self-styled superhero Phoenix Jones unmasked himself before cameras Thursday and vowed to keep fighting crime after prosecutors delayed a decision on whether to press assault charges against him . Jones -- who told reporters his real name is Ben Fodor -- routinely patrols downtown Seattle streets decked out in a rubber suit and mask . He was arrested early Sunday on four counts of assault after police said he used pepper spray on a group of people leaving a nightclub . A spokesman for Fodor said he was trying to break up a fight . Video shot by a documentary crew and posted on Phoenix Jones ' Facebook page showed a chaotic scene , with the self-styled super hero being chased by a purse-wielding woman and then shooting what appeared to be pepper spray at a group of people . Fodor was the only person arrested in the incident . Seattle Police said Fodor overreacted , and asserted that the city is not in need of vigilante crime fighters . `` If you see something that warrants calling 911 , call 911 . You do n't need to dress up in a costume to do that , '' police spokesman Mark Jamieson said . In court Thursday , Fodor appeared wearing a hood , which a judge 's assistant asked him to remove . Told charges had not been filed against him , Fodor put the rubber hood back on and left the court with a swarm of media cameras following him . Outside the courthouse , Fodor told reporters he would continue his anti-crime patrols and then removed his hood . `` In addition to being Phoenix Jones , '' he said . `` I am also Ben Fodor , a father and brother . I am just like everybody else . The only difference is that I try to stop crime . '' Fodor also said he would invite the public to accompany him on future patrols . He then walked off without taking any questions from reporters . An Internet search showed Fodor has competed in mixed martial arts events , with a record of 11 wins and no losses . Kimberly Mills , a spokeswoman for the city attorney 's office , said prosecutors will decide whether to file charges against him after they finish interviewing witnesses and complete the investigation into the incident Sunday .
Superhero Ben Wright is revealed to be the alter ego of Ben Fodor . He appears in court , but is told no charges have been filed against him . They may be filed later , the district attorney 's office says .
