A drunk Chinese man has been detained after stripping down to his underwear in a subway station and biting two anti-coronavirus officers because he did not want to have his temperature taken.

The intoxicated passenger, known by his surname Wang, shouted 'I'll strip naked for your checks' after he was stopped by the station's staff members for a temperature test last Wednesday evening.

'Look, aren't I pretty?' said the barely-dressed Mr Wang to the staff in the metro station of Nanjing, Jiangsu Province of eastern China, according to local press.

CCTV footage shows the half-naked man pushing away the officers who are trying to put clothes back on Mr Wang.

The police told the press that Mr Wang went to a friend's dinner party before he arrived at the subway station. He was 'already feeling dizzy' as he left his friend's house.
