MOTORISTS had to swerve to avoid a naked man on a busy main road.

The 61-year-old, who was carrying a shoe in his left hand, was first spotted walking down Newbury Road, Bromley.

He then made his way into Aylesbury Road where a passer-by attempted to speak to him and see if he was alright at about 8.10pm on January 17.

But the man did not respond and walked to Westmoreland Road, where he got down on all-fours in the middle of the road.

He was arrested nearby the Churchill Insurance building.

The man was taken to Green Parks House, a mental health unit in the grounds of the Princess Royal University Hospital, Farnborough Common.
