A woman suspected to be mentally ill was taken to Prince Mshiyeni Memorial Hospital in Durban, South Africa after she climbed up onto a Metro Police vehicle and stripped naked.

In a short video clip of the incident which has gone viral on social media, the woman can be seen on top of the vehicle as it’s driving through a street in Isipingo, south of the Durban CBD.

The woman has a bag with her, on the roof of the Metro Police VW Polo.

She then stands up and lifts up her dress, exposing her bare bum to the people standing on the road. 

She sits down and takes her dress off, while the vehicle continues driving towards an intersection.
