Nude Man Apprehended at East Arlington Bus Stop

A nude man at an MBTA bus stop in East Arlington was taken into custody by police early Sunday morning.

Arlington police responded to the bus stop in front of Homewood Suites on Mass. Ave. at about 6:30 a.m. Sunday for a report of a nude white male.

Upon arrival, officers found the man, who was completely naked, sitting on a concrete slab. The man told police that he had been walking around for a few hours in the buff (it was snowing early Sunday morning). He said he was not sure how he got to the bus stop but he thought he might have walked there from Somerville, according to police.

Massachusetts State Police and Cambridge police soon arrived on scene, as they had also received calls.

The man agreed to be taken to an area hospital for a mental-health evaluation, police said.

Arlington police filed a criminal complaint against the man for indecent exposure.
