A man has been kicked out of a shopping centre because he was wearing shorts that were too short.

Security at the Intu shopping centre in Derby removed the man following complaints from fellow shoppers.

He was wearing a traditional German lederhosen-style outfit.

The man was spotted walking through the shopping centre around 5.45pm on Wednesday before he was asked to leave by the centre’s security staff.

Mr Mosley, 36, who works in construction, said the man’s outfit attracted a lot of attention in the centre.



He told the Derby Telegraph: ‘I was walking towards Sports Direct where I saw a man in rather unusual clothing being flanked by two security staff side by side.

‘The man seemed very bemused which led me to believe he may have been asked to leave for his attire rather than him doing something wrong.’

But a spokesman for Intu told the paper that this was not the case and added that the man was escorted out because of what ‘was on display’.

An Intu spokesperson told Metro.co.uk: ‘We received a complaint from a mum who was with her two young children about another customer.

‘We spoke to the gentleman concerned about the complaint, he understood and cooperated fully with the request to leave made by our security team.’
