Naked Homeless Man Disturbs Mid-Wilshire Neighborhood: Report

LOS ANGELES, CA — Mid-Wilshire neighborhood residents are sounding the alarm about a naked man roaming around their properties, sometimes popping up in their backyards, according to reports.

Residents told KTLA that the man is believed to be homeless and has been in the area for months screaming at all hours and committing lewd acts. Most nights, the man will sleep naked anywhere he can access —be it somebody's yard or a stairwell, residents said.

One resident said she didn't find the man intimidating until she found him in her own backyard when she woke up one morning.

According to KTLA, the man was arrested on Sunday for stealing clothes, towels and camper parts from a resident. Police have arrested the man a handful of times, residents said, and has been seen carrying items that could be used as weapons.
