A nude man stopped traffic outside the Magic Sneaker on Springfield Avenue in Irvington, New Jersey, yesterday, boarding a NJ transit bus and striking its driver before strolling back out into the middle of the road.
YouTube user DEON LARK captured the incident, which picks up around the 0:50 mark. "Excuse me," DEON LARK says as he brushes past people on the sidewalk, eager to get a shot of the naked man.
The police arrive, and passersby say that he is detained.
"This was an unruly customer, and he was removed by the police," said Nancy Snyder, a spokeswoman for NJ Transit. Snyder added that the driver was not injured, and continued his route.
A press representative from the Irvington Police Department has not returned a request for comment.
