On Thursday, a man disrobed and entered the water wearing only his birthday suit. Then, he refused to come out.
SAN CLEMENTE, CA — On Thursday, an as-of-yet unidentified man entered the water just north of the San Clemente pier wearing...well, nothing.
According to those present at the pier, a barrage of emergency officials arrived to escort him out of the water, which took a great deal of coaxing, they say.
San Clemente lifeguards, Orange County Sheriff's Department and Harbor patrol all assisted in ultimately removing the man from the ocean, a spokesperson from the city of San Clemente said.
