Elderly Hong Kong man arrested for allegedly exercising nude in public park

An elderly man has been arrested on suspicion of indecent exposure in Hong Kong after residents complained he exercised nude in a public park.

The man, 68, would jog around a soccer pitch at Lei Cheng Uk Estate in Cheung Sha Wan wearing small shorts, and he would roll down the waistband while hiking up the sides, exposing part of his buttocks, residents told local media.

He allegedly would then move to the relatively more secluded public park across the street and take off his shorts completely, exposing his genitals.

He was seen doing this several times, a resident complained to the media.

The man was featured in a segment by a popular TV programme, whose host tried to interview him in the park. But when approached, the man covered his head with a T-shirt and ran off.

Police said a man living at the same public housing estate was arrested on Wednesday over indecent exposure and was detained for questioning.
