A SECTION of Whitehall has been closed off after a naked man was seen straddling a statue.

Scotland Yard said it was believed that the man might have a knife as officers shut down part of the road, near the heart of Westminster in central London.

Whitehall runs from Trafalgar Square and is where the Ministry of Defence is situated.

Police had cordoned off a section of around 100 metres of Whitehall, near Trafalgar Square.

Several police cars and ambulances were on the scene.

Crowds of onlookers had gathered at either end of the cordon. The naked man is believed to have been clothed when he climbed on to the statue.

He could be seen waving his arms, apparently speaking to emergency services on the ground, and did not seem to be holding anything.

The man could be seen adopting a variety of poses on the statue, which is of Prince George, the Duke of Cambridge.

At times he was balancing precariously on the duke’s head with both arms outstretched.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: “Police were called shortly after midday to reports of a man who had climbed on a statue in Whitehall, near the junction with Horse Guards Avenue.

“Officers are on scene and are attempting to engage the man in dialogue, with a view to bringing the incident to a peaceful and successful conclusion.”
