When some residents approached him, he ran towards them and made gestures.
Witness Jake Scott told the New Zealand Herald: ‘He ran through Browns Bay around everywhere… it was like he was running a quarter-marathon.
‘He shouted “I’m free, I’m alive, I am the God”.’
After running around for about 30 minutes, police took the man away and gave him a telling off.
The event sparked conversation on the community’s Facebook group.
‘This man looks like the same man that was one the beach this afternoon doing strange movement and gestures at me,’ one person wrote on the Browns Bay Facebook group.
Another said: ‘Yes, I saw him this evening doing strange exercises, definitely him.’
