A 48-year-old German man has been arrested in Rome after being caught jogging naked through a park.
The man said he hadn't realised it was against the law to run naked in Italy.
Officers had chased him through the city's San Basilio park before finally catching him.
They had received dozens of calls from bystanders.
A police spokesman in Rome said:''He was very fit and for a while managed to outpace our officers until he was eventually tackled to the ground."
The man was charged with breaking obscenity laws and bailed.
