A naked man playing violin in front of a Portland courthouse refused to walk to a patrol car and had to be carried by police.

Police say they are not sure of the man's identity. He told them his name is Matthew T Mglej and that he is 25 years old. The man was jailed under the Portland city code forbidding indecent exposure.

Police say they warned the man numerous times about his "lack of attire," but he refused to dress himself or leave public view.
