WEST HAVEN — State police say traffic was snarled during part of the morning rush hour on Interstate 95 in West Haven because of a naked man on the highway.

State police say they responded to a call for a medical assist on the southbound side of the highway near exit 42 at about 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday.

Police tell WVIT-TV they found the naked man sitting on his car by the side of the interstate.

Police blocked off the highway for a time and traffic was only getting by on the right shoulder.

Police say the man was taken into custody and was expected to be transported to a medical facility for evaluation.
