Naked man chased through streets of Notting Hill

This video shows three police officers on the pursuit of a naked man as he legged it through the streets.

Ross Springham, 29, was seen in the nude in Notting Hill, west London, at around 8am on Sunday morning.

When police arrived following calls from worried residents, he started running away so they chased him.

Three officers were filmed trying to catch the suspect as he sprinted past shops and businesses without any clothes on.

Delivery cyclist Pedro Lula, 39, who witnessed the chase, said: ‘I was out making a delivery on my bike when I looked up and a naked man ran past.

‘I was checking an address on my phone and just started filming.’

Mobile phone footage showed the man running past a police car as two officers chase him on foot in front of stunned passers-by.

A third officer then jumped out of a police car and joined the pursuit of the stripped-off runner as he crossed the road.

Springham was eventually apprehended by police and taken to a station in central London after being checked over by paramedics, Scotland Yard said.

At Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Monday, he pleaded guilty to indecent exposure and was remanded in custody.


He will be sentenced next month after a pre-sentence report is produced by probation.

A spokesman for the Met Police said: ‘Police were called to the Westway, W2, at around 8am on Sunday, February 21, following reports that a man was walking naked in the street.

‘Officers and the London Ambulance Service (LAS) attended. The man was arrested after being seen and assessed by LAS and was taken into custody at a central London police station.

‘Ross Springham, 29, of no fixed address, was charged on Monday, February 22, with indecent exposure. He appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court later the same day.’
