A 'drunk Irish man' has been caught on camera after he stripped naked and allegedly tried to fight oncoming cars in the middle of the street.

Wearing absolutely no clothes, the man stands in the centre of the road and appears to throw down a coat of some kind.

He then raises his fists at several vehicles as they try to pass by him.

The footage was uploaded to Facebook by Will Davies just six hours ago and has already clocked up more than 7,500 views.

The man appears to have been spotted yesterday evening by revellers at a nearby nightclub who decided to take out their phones and record the bizarre incident.

And even the DJ at the club appeared to get involved, throwing in a tongue-in-cheek comment about the effects of the cold weather on the man's naked appearance.
