A streak at a sporting event, done well, is a joy to behold.
The Cricket World Cup in England earlier this year saw an all-time classic, for those who want a trip down memory lane, but let’s focus on a man who was apprehended by police on the N2 just outside of Port Elizabeth last week.
Sadly, the man is said to have been mentally ill, and was found by police near Kinkelbos.
According to provincial roads and transport department spokesperson Unathi Binqose, who spoke with TimesLIVE, law enforcement had to act quickly in the interest of safety:
“We are compelled to arrest people, because nobody is allowed to be walking on the freeway. It is even more dangerous when you see a mentally disturbed person.
“The fact that he was naked is what caught the attention of our officers, compelling them to act.”
Binqose said the man was handed over to the Kinkelbos police and later taken to a nearby mental hospital, where he will remain until his relatives are found.

Well done to the police officers who managed to get the man help.
