IRVINGTON — A naked man walked down the middle of a busy street Monday afternoon, then boarded a NJ Transit bus as onlookers watched and took video.

The nude man was walking on Springfield Avenue about 3:40 p.m. when the bus stopped nearby, as shown in several videos posted to Youtube.

The man entered the bus and pushed the driver around, said Nancy Snyder, a NJ Transit spokeswoman.

A naked man boarded a New Jersey Transit bus Monday.

“The operator was not hurt – and he continued his route,” Snyder said this morning.

One Youtube video shows the Irvington police arriving several minutes after the man was first shown walking in circles in the middle of the road.

Irvington police received a call about a man taking off his clothes in public at 3:47 p.m., said police director Joseph Santiago. Officers took the the unidentified man to Newark Beth Israel Medical Center at 4:19 p.m., Santiago said.

The man was detained without incident, added Sgt. Patrick Brennan. No charges were filed, and the investigation was turned over to the NJ Transit police, the sergeant added.

The naked man was taken away on a stretcher after being subdued by police, according to an ABC-7 report.
