Naked alleged motel burglar flees on bike

ROCHESTER, Minn., Nov. 27 (UPI) -- Two guests forgot to look both ways when exiting their Minnesota motel room and were run over by an alleged burglar -- naked and on a bicycle.

The 73-year-old Michigan man and his son, 35, both suffered minor injuries when they were struck inside the Rochester motel Sunday.

Police told the Rochester Post-Bulletin that the cyclist was no ordinary guest. He reportedly was naked when he allegedly swiped the bike from a female guest minutes earlier. He was classy enough, however, to take a pair of swim trunks as well so he wasn't completely inappropriate when the younger pedestrian tackled him and held him for security, the report said.

The newspaper said the suspect could face burglary and indecent exposure charges.
