POLICE arrested a man who was seen running through a Hampshire town centre.
The streaker was spotted outside Strides Cycles in Commercial Road, Totton, shortly after 6.30am yesterday.
One eyewitness said: "I was just driving along when I saw this man running down the street stark naked.
"I thought I must have been drinking too much last night!
"The man was running down the street, holding himself to protect his dignity.
"It certainly wasn't what I was expecting to see at that time of the morning."
A Hampshire Police spokeswoman said the man, in his late 20s, had been reported to them by a motorist who was concerned for his welfare.
He was arrested shortly after 7am in nearby Salisbury Road and was detained under the Mental Health Act.
