Adams Morgan

“Adams Morgan Naked Man Running”


18th and Columbia Road, NW

“Dear PoPville,

I don’t know if anyone else was around/saw but by the Adams Morgan McDonald’s about 30 minutes ago [around 1:15pm] a man randomly stripped down naked and started sprinting throughout the intersection of 18th and Columbia. Anyone else see that or used to seeing that? He headed up Calvert St I believe, left all his clothes right at the front door of the McDonalds and didn’t come back.”

Update from MPD:

“MPD received several calls about this individual and eventually located him in the 1500 block of 14th Street NW, where he was detained by MPD officers and transported to an area hospital for evaluation. It is believed that he was in the midst of a mental health crisis or narcotics-related reaction. We thank the community for contacting 911 to alert us of the situation.”
