A man has been sectioned after he began masturbating in front of passing cars and police officers in Camden Town.
The 50-year-old was found by police in Albany Street in the early hours of Friday (February 6) intoxicated and with his trousers round his ankles.
Officers say they asked the man to pull up his trousers “on several occasions” but he instead began to masturbate in full view of passing cars.
He was arrested for outraging public decency and later taken to a mental health unit.
