Poland’s Municipal Police Headquarters issued a statement regarding a naked black man who
was parading across the Piłsudski Bridge in Toruń just before midnight on April 4.
A woman reported having stopped her car after seeing a cat that had been struck on the bridge. She turned on her hazard lights and exited her vehicle to place the cat on the side of the road, Do Rzeczy writes, citing Dobrytorunlepszapolska.pl. It was then that she “saw a dark-skinned man walking toward her. He was approaching down the middle of the street, walking confidently, and was completely naked.”
A passing driver filmed the man in a video that spread on social media. A taxi driver provided shelter to the woman and immediately called the police.

In recent years, there have been a number of headline-grabbing cases involving naked men from Africa inside Poland. Last year, two naked Ethiopian men were found running through Lubin, sparking a police investigation.
