Naked man arrested at Cockwood after night up a tree with his mouth organ

A NAKED man was nabbed by police after he climbed a tree near Dawlish Warren, played a mouth organ and refused to come down.
The 44-year-old was arrested under the Mental Health Act at about 7am yesterday.

A police spokesman said the man was seen wandering around Dawlish Warren naked from the waist down at 9.40pm on Tuesday.
Police found him walking in the road towards Cockwood.
The man ran off and into a driveway in Easton before scrambling onto a stable roof and up a tree.

He was sitting high up in the branches and was unresponsive.
Police closed the road for the manâ??s safety and a fire engine from Dawlish and the aerial platform from Exeter were called in.

A police officer and fire officer were sent up to try to coax the man down at about 4am, but he refused to budge.
The police spokesman said after several hours the officers decided enough was enough and brought him down by force.

He was taken to Torquay Police Station.
The spokesman added: â??He will be examined by a mental health professional to see whether he needs to be sectioned.â?

Tina Swift, 46, watched the drama unfold from her bedroom window.
She said: â??We were out for a meal with friends and came back home in a taxi at about 11.30pm. I let the dogs out and I was getting ready for bed when I heard a car fly into our driveway and saw the security lights go on.
â??I looked out of the window and I saw police officers running after a naked man.

â??My husband, son and I all gave chase in our pyjamas and saw him get himself onto the stable roof and onto the barn.â?
Mrs Swiftâ??s son Steve, 20, chased the man on to the roof and spotted him lying down. But when he called for help, the man shot off and climbed up the tree.

â??He was up there for seven hours completely starkers. It was a very, very long night.
â??He was obviously mentally ill and absolutely disorientated.
â??All he had with him was his mouth organ and he would play that every now and again.

â??I thought I was dreaming. Itâ??s certainly something different to have a naked man in your tree at night.â?

Nothing like being naked in a tree with an acient Greek instrument normally made out of reeds.
