A woman suspected to be suffering from mental illness was taken to Prince Mshiyeni Memorial Hospital in Durban, South Africa after she climbed up onto a Metro Police vehicle and stripped naked.
A video of the incident has gone viral. It shows the woman on top of the vehicle as it drives through a street in Isipingo, south of the Durban Central Business District.
The woman’s handbag was placed beside her on the roof of the Metro Police VW Polo.
As the car drives along slowly, she stands up and lifts her dress, exposing her bare bum to the people standing on the road.
She proceeds to sit down and take off her dress, while the vehicle continues driving towards an intersection.
Some onlookers can be seen filming the incident.
The police were at the Isipingo CBD to investigate a report of a woman acting strangely, according to Metro Police spokesperson Colonel Boysie Zungu,
“The lady jumped on top of the fully-marked vehicle. The officers managed to get her down and she was taken to the Prince Mshiyeni Memorial Hospital in Umlazi for treatment,” Zungu said.
