"It took half the Exeter police force to arrest them and the armed response too.

"There were at least seven officers after he was just walking willy nilly down the High Street enjoying his time out."

Benjamin Borley, who was also on Exeter High Street at the time of the incident, tweeted: "I know I mock Exeter’s armed police but thank goodness they were on hand with six of their colleagues and an equal number of security guards to detain the criminally naked man."
