Normally if you hear about someone in a furry costume going on a stabbing spree you're probably talking about New York City's Time Square, but this happened in New Orleans.

Have you seen this Wookiee?
Police in New Orleans say a person in a Chewbacca costume stabbed someone during a fight in the city’s French Quarter.
Cops on Monday released a photo of their suspect — dressed as the furry “Star Wars” character and holding a red lightsaber — in the hopes of identifying him.
The street performer, believed to be a man in his 20s, knifed the victim during an argument around 8:50 p.m. Saturday in the tourist-friendly district, police said.
The head of the creep’s costume came off during the squabble, a witness told cops, according to NOLA.com. The photo of the suspect showed him with the Chewbacca head still on.
