Naked pedestrian found wandering La Crescenta street, helped by passing motorist
A woman who reportedly suffered from a mental health emergency was found walking down a La Crescenta street naked on Sunday, authorities said.
Sometime around 3:30 p.m., a 19-year-old woman stripped off her clothing as she walked down Foothill Boulevard near Pennsylvania Avenue for an unknown reason. Lt. Gary Harman, a spokesman for the Crescenta Valley Sheriff’s Station, said the woman may have been suffering “some emotional issues.”
A passing motorist soon came to the aid of the woman.
“A female saw the woman, stopped her car, wrapped her in a jacket and took her to the sheriff’s station,” Harman said.
The woman was then taken to a nearby hospital for a mental health evaluation.
