WATCH | Naked man goes off the rails at Southport station

A rail passenger became so frustrated with no trains running from Southport Station today (Monday 13 March 2017) he attempted to strip naked!

Although it’s not clean how the bizarre protest would have worked in his favour, the man who was clearly intoxicated, took off his shirt and nearly his pants before quick thinking BTP officers swooped in to arrest him.

He was later taken to a nearby police station for questioning.
