BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - A naked man apparently set up a tripod and was taking pictures of himself on a busy Birmingham interstate, but was gone by the time police responded to the scene.

The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office received a call midday that the man was on the Interstate 459 northbound ramp to U.S. 280. Sheriff's dispatchers transferred the call to Birmingham police.

South Precinct commander Capt. Cory Hardiman said Birmingham officers responded to the scene. By the time they arrived, he had reportedly put on his clothes and run off into the woods.

Police have not yet located the man.
