Naked Man In Tampa Sprays People With Fire Extinguisher: Report

TAMPA, FL — Some residents at a Tampa high-rise apartment building experienced a bizarre moment after crossing paths with a man in the buff who seemed to be on a mission to cause a little chaos and confusion, reports said.

According to WFLA, after a naked man pulled a fire alarm in the apartment building Sunday, he then sprayed people with a fire extinguisher as they evacuated.

One of the station's reporters witnessed the strange sight unfold and tweeted about it.

"Witnesses say the naked man pulled the fire alarm of a high-rise condo building on 12th street," reporter Mahsa Saeidi posted to her Twitter account. "As people were evacuating, the perp sprayed men, women and children."

There were no reports of any injuries, the station said.

Saeidi tweeted that after Tampa police caught the naked man, people from the high-rise apartment clapped in relief.

It's not clear why the man was nude in the first place or if he lived inside the building.

The Tampa Police Department has yet to comment on the incident, and the identity of the naked man has not been released.
