Kicker: Ramen servers or Power Rangers?

NICK EICHER, HOST: The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers recently halted a crime in California.

Servers at the NōKA Ramen restaurant in Oakland were dressed in colorful superhero Power Rangers costumes last Friday.

They were mingling with customers when a frightened woman ran into the restaurant. A short time later, a man burst through the door and attempted to attack her.

That’s when the servers—well, the Power Rangers, I guess—sprang into action.

One customer told KGO-TV:

AUDIO: All of the servers-slash-Power Rangers were moving toward the scene to help one another out.

They piled on the suspect and subdued him until police arrived.

Just a typical Friday night on the job for ramen servers–slash–Power Rangers! It’s Morphin time!

It’s The World and Everything in It.
