Masked 'Santa Ana Spider-Man' films a night patrol of downtown

A roughly 27-second vertical vlog captioned "Santa Ana spider man Patrol vlog," set beside a photo of the Downtown Santa Ana water tower. A person in a black Spider-Man suit with red web lines appears on camera, then the shot looks down on downtown streets and intersections at night from a high vantage point. He says he is out patrolling downtown Santa Ana, reports no trouble, and ends seated next to a second person in a black ski mask, calling it a successful night out.

Downtown Santa Ana got a visit from a masked web-slinger. A short clip labeled "Santa Ana spider man Patrol vlog" shows a person in a black-and-red Spider-Man suit looking down on downtown streets after dark and narrating what he sees.

His report from the patrol: a quiet night. "So far so good, you don't see any troubles happening on the streets," he says in the video.

What the clip shows

The vlog cuts between close-ups of the suited figure and high views of lit-up downtown streets and intersections, with traffic rolling through below. "Out here patrolling downtown Santa Ana," he says, before signing off with a "successful night out."

The person in the suit is not named in the video or the post, and it is not clear how often the patrols happen or who first posted the vlog.

“So far so good, you don't see any troubles happening on the streets. We're doing pretty all right here.”
