Naked Man Has To Be Coaxed Out Of Sherman Oaks Apartment Crawlspace
SHERMAN OAKS (CBSLA.com) — Authorities said they had to coax a naked man out of the crawlspace of a Sherman Oaks apartment building Sunday morning.
The man was taken to an area hospital by firefighters for observation.
Urban Search & Rescue personnel were summoned to the 12900 block of Dickens Street by the LAPD around 10:45 a.m.
The man was coaxed out and taken to a hospital by ambulance with police on board as a precaution, Brian Humphrey of the Los Angeles Fire Department said.
The man appeared to be in his mid-20s, according to broadcast reports.
It was unclear how long the man was staying under the crawlspace or if he is a resident of the neighborhood.
Residents called police after allegedly observing the man walking around their neighborhood nude.
