Naked man runs through Bangkok road, impressively jumps from car to car (VIDEO)

It looks like this dude mistook Bangkok’s Vibhavadi Road as his free-running course on Sunday.

A video, which shows the stark-naked man bashing a car before dangerously running through the street and jumping onto a van, became the talk of town on the weekend.

The man, who Thai media quickly dubbed “Mowgli” a la the “Jungle Book” character, smoothly jumped onto a van before making a flying leap onto another taxi, causing the woman who was filming the video to let out classic Thai curses.

At the end, police and rescue volunteers chased down the man and were able to get a hold on him after 30 minutes.

Paholyothin police said the man was obviously mentally ill and lucky he wasn’t badly injured, The Nation reported.

The man, only identified as a 39-year-old from Nakhon Sawan province, was readmitted to the psychiatric ward at Srithanya Hospital, where he had previously been a mental-health patient.

Police will work with social workers to reach out to the man’s relatives, Sanook reported.
