Police nabbed a Western man who went skinny dipping in a moat ringing the Imperial Palace in a busy Tokyo business district, attracting a huge crowd, officials said Tuesday.

The naked middle-aged man jumped into the moat, then threw rocks and splashed water at two policemen who chased him in a rowing boat, a Tokyo Metropolitan Police official said on condition of anonymity, citing protocol.

The police official did not know the man's name or nationality.

After an hour, the man got out of the water and climbed a stone wall only to fall into the hands of police officers who were waiting for him. The police official said the man was detained for questioning, but could not confirm if he was arrested or charged.

Broadcasters were careful to meet Japan's obscenity laws once he had climbed out of the water, masking images of his private parts with a blurry dot.

A palace official said the emperor was in the palace at the time of the incident, but it was unlikely he saw the nude swimmer. He also spoke on condition of anonymity in accordance with palace policy.

Oh, he'll be arrested alright and his most serious crime being that he's not Japanese. And since he isn't Japanese and they'd probably not prefer having to deal with him, more than likely he'll be ejected from the country and barred from returning.

Now if that happened in Singapore.............

I heard he was British.

Like my friend Louis said, "There's good naked and there's bad naked. The bad naked comes out first."
