A completely naked woman was seen running around a car park while a dozen onlookers filmed and posed for selfies.
Footage uploaded to social media showed her dancing around and flailing her arms in the Auckland suburb of Parnell.
Onlookers said she was yelling and running around for about 10 minutes on Wednesday afternoon.

As well as running in circles, the woman was filmed sitting on the ground reclining on her arms and lounging back in a deck chair.
She also posed near some of the many people who took selfies with her in the background, often raising her arms in the air.
At one point she repeated ‘have a good one yeah’ back to an onlooker who said the same phrase in a questioning tone.
‘There was a guy trying to help her. But she got a bit too close to him. It was a sad sight to see,’ a witness told the New Zealand Herald.
They said a man who appeared to know the woman eventually came and handed her his shirt, which she put on.

The numerous people who filmed the woman were criticised for doing so by commenters online.
Family First party national director Bob McCoskrie said the woman shouldn’t have been filmed.
But a witness said it was to be expected that people would film such an odd situation.
‘It’s something you never see. You see it online, a person doing crazy things. It is insensitive videoing, but how do you help someone like that?’ they said.

Police eventually arrived to calm her down and take her to the station until she was in an ‘appropriate condition’ to be released
Auckland City Police sergeant Mark Clayton said the woman was wearing a shirt when officers arrived and calmed her down.
She was taken into custody and held at the police station until she was in an ‘appropriate condition’ to be released.
‘Any situation that requires the assistance of emergency services, we would ask witnesses to call us immediately so we are able offer appropriate help,’ he said.
