Shocking moment a crazed naked man attacks passengers on DC Metro during the morning commute 

A unnamed naked man wreaked havoc on a Washington DC Metro train Thursday morning.

He was first spotted boarding the morning commute train at the Galley Place Metro Station in downtown DC around 6am.

After boarding the red line train he switched train cars, where he began to harass passengers, according to police. 

 

The man was caught on video pacing on the train completely in the nude

A video clip obtained by Fox5 taken through the window of the next train car over displays the naked man throwing punches on a passenger who eventually fights back.

The video clip begins with the naked man walking back and forth on a train, unconcerned with his nudity. 

He then approaches a man wearing a neon vest, throwing a punch on his jaw then on the side of his face.

The man in the vest stands still, shocked. 

The man recording the blows begins to swear after seeing the punches saying ‘Oh he just two pieced my man!’  

The naked man then walks away still talking to the man he punched.

He swings and slides on the pole in the center of the train, then returns to the man to throw more punches.

The man in the vest then fights back causing the naked man to fall down.

The brawl sees the two go back and forth, throwing face punches and trying to overpower each other.

‘I go to the back window, start recording, and he walks up to a guy and assaults him, starts punching him in the face. Then he jumps on the guy again, when the train stops the guy jumps off, the naked guy grabs his bag and everything,’ Phillip Banks told Fox5.  

The scene: Police arrived to Dupont Circle Metro station, pictured above, where a witness reported that he did 'naked calisthenics' to arrest the man

‘Then he attempts to get back on the train we’re on, but me and another guy wouldn’t allow him to get back on the train because there were a bunch of elderly women on the train, so we weren’t having that,’ Banks added.  

The naked man disembarked at the Dupont Circle Metro station where a witness reported that he did ‘naked calisthenics’ on the platform. 

After a passenger on the train he was on raised alarm, police arrived on the scene.

The naked man did not comply with Metro Transit Police, causing authorities to taser him then take him out on a stretcher, according to WUSA9.

It was at that station he was taken away by Metro Transit Police for his alleged attacks in a stretcher.  

Officials said they believe the man may have been on a drug at the time of the incident. 

Metro Police said at least one of the assaults took place on the train, as displayed in the video recording. It is not clear when the second assault took place. 

The passengers hit by the naked man are not believed to suffer serious injuries.

An investigation in ongoing. 

He faces at least two counts of simple assault and other charges, according to WUSA9.
