SEGAMAT - A fully naked man caused a stir at the payment counter of a shopping centre here when he sauntered into the premises along Jalan Ros here on Saturday night.
It is learnt that the man, believed to be mentally unstable, entered the premises at about 8.30pm and just stood at the payment counter to the horror of weekend shoppers.
The man, who is in his 50s, was believed to have been in the town area for the past few weeks and has been sleeping at the car park areas near the commercial shop lots.
Segamat police chief Superitendent Mohd Kamil Sukarmi said police immediately dispatched a patrol car to the location after receiving a distress call about the naked man at the shopping centre.
“It took two policemen about 10 minutes to coax the man to put-on a pair of shorts that they had purchased for him,” he said today.
Mohd Kamil said police later sent the man to the Segamat Hospital for treatment.
He said police had also contacted the Segamat Social Welfare Office on the incident for further action. -NST
