A man in his 20s who walked naked through downtown Daejeon in broad daylight on Children's Day, May 5, was caught by police.
The Dunsan Police Station in Daejeon said on the 6th that it arrested and is questioning a 29-year-old identified only as A on suspicion of public indecency.
According to police, A is suspected of walking naked through the streets in downtown Dunsan-dong, Seo District, Daejeon, at about 4:25 p.m. on the 5th.
Earlier, police received four reports, including that "there is a person walking around after taking off clothes between Eunhasu Four-way Intersection and Galleria Department Store," and rushed to the scene to arrest A in the act. A is said to have walked naked through the streets for about 10 minutes before being arrested.
In a police interview, A said, "I did it because it's comfortable to take off clothes," and "I felt good when I took off my clothes and shouted my name in front of many people."
It has not been confirmed whether A used narcotics or has a history of mental illness.
Police plan to refer A to prosecutors as soon as they finish the investigation.
