Naked woman descends on Wan Chai

A woman ran naked onto a busy Wan Chai street yesterday and declared she was the devil.

The 20-year-old Brazilian, whom police named only as Anikan, startled pedestrians as she yelled: 'I'm Satan. Today is doomsday.'

She ran at least 30 metres before reaching a mobile phone shop on Ship Street, where she squatted with her arms around her chest.

A security guard called police when he saw her run out of the lift in Johnston Court, Johnston Road, at 9.50am.

Police and ambulance officers reached the woman soon after she arrived at the shop and covered her with a blanket before taking her to Ruttonjee Hospital.

A neighbour said the woman arrived in the city two months ago and lived with her family in the building.

The woman told police later she could not explain her actions. Initial tests showed she was neither drunk nor under the influence of drugs, and she had no history of mental illness.
