The Wireless Center in Strongsville, near Cleveland, advertises on the curb with a man in a gorilla suit. Brandon Parham, the store's manager, says last week he saw a kid dressed as a banana come out of the bushes and take a flying leap at the store's mascot.

Parham says the attacker looked like a Spartan from the movie "300" - expect he was a banana.

The gorilla was knocked down but got back up, adjusted his head and went back to work.

According to local station WJW, the banana ran down the street with other teens.

Police think it was a prank. They have not been able to find the banana.
