A man dressed as "Zombie Muhammad" told police he was attacked during Tuesday's nighttime Halloween parade in Mechanicsburg.



Ernest Perce V, of the Parading Atheists of Central PA, told officers a man tried to take his "Muhammad of Islam" sign and choked him. Police have identified a suspect, but no charges have been filed as the incident remains under investigation, Sgt. Brian Curtis said.

Perce was not hurt, Curtis said. The altercation was uploaded to

Police are investigating it as a harassment, and a decision on charges is likely to come this week, he said.
