It was little comfort to the residents of a home along Lake Washington in Seattle when the naked man who crashed through their front door began loudly reciting scripture.

Police say a woman called 911 at about 2am on Tuesday while her husband grabbed a baseball bat to protect his wife and two young children upstairs.

Arriving officers spotted a naked man in the street, talking to himself. He ran away but they chased and caught him. The 20-year-old was arrested and taken to jail, with a stop at a hospital after he told police he had taken LSD.
