American tourist streaks through Nuremberg to pay EUR200

Just to know how it feels to be naked in Nuremberg a 41-year-old American tourist on a sightseeing tour of Germany streaked through a historic city's center.

People who were treated to the Monday afternoon spectacle were less than impressed and pointed the streaking sprinter out to nearby traffic police, who took the man into custody, authorities said Tuesday.

The man, whose name was not released, was told to put his clothes back on and was ordered to pay a fine of EUR200 (US$270), police said.

The tourist was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and told officers that he had not known streaking was illegal in Germany and that he just wanted to see what it was like, police said.
