Naked man causes stir in Ansonia

ANSONIA — Motorists traveling along Bridge Street Tuesday morning got an eyeful when a man wearing nothing but his birthday suit was spotted sprinting across the bridge.
The unidentified man, who Lt. Andrew Cota said is well-known to the department, was quickly picked up by police around 9:30 a.m., and brought to Griffin Hospital in nearby Derby for mental evaluation.
Cota said the department received several phone calls from motorists who reported seeing the naked man running across the bridge. The man did not cause any harm or injury to anyone.
Cota said the man is regularly spotted in the vicinity of the Birmingham Group downtown, and police have had many dealings with him in the past, having transported him to Griffin on several occasions.
