Bizarre moment man ran through town centre completely NAKED despite Storm Doris battering UK with 87mph winds
THIS is the bizarre moment a brazen man was captured running naked during gale-force winds caused by Storm Doris.
Stunned witnesses were left gobsmacked after spotting the mysterious nudist racing past them through the streets of Sheffield.
The unidentified man was pictured wearing just shoes, socks and a backpack running down Pond Street as he braved 50mph gusts that have battered the country today.
Eagle-eyed photographer Scott Merrylees, who captured the unusual sight, tweeted: "Not quite the picture I had imagined as I set out to photograph effects of #stormdoris in #Yorkshire this aft [sic]. #Sheffield #nakedman #running."
It is unclear why the man was naked but the stunt did raise a few eyebrows on social media.
One Twitter user suggested: "Happen [sic] his clothes got blown away."
Another joked: "Don't you hate it when you have that dream."
It comes after Storm Doris claimed its first victim - a 29-year-old woman who died after being “struck” by “wooden debris from a nearby building” as she walked past a Starbucks in Wolverhampton.
Meanwhile dozens have been injured in separate incidents as gusts of up to 95mph battered large swathes of the country.
