MADISON HEIGHTS, Mich. (AP) - Police say a 25-year-old man was taken into custody after being spotted running naked along a road in chilly suburban Detroit.

The Daily Tribune of Royal Oak reports (http://bit.ly/15TEYuB ) motorists in Madison Heights called police on Tuesday afternoon.

Detective Sgt. Mark Zupic says an officer tried to get the man into a patrol car. Instead, the man reportedly said he needed to go where there was sun. Zupic says the man took off running and, when officers caught up, he tried to push an officer.

Zupic says officers grappled with the man before handcuffing him. No charges are pending against the man, who was hospitalized for psychiatric observation.

The National Weather Service says temperatures nearby were in the low 20s with 9 mph winds making it feel like 10 degrees.
