Naked Drunken Man on Rampage Attacks 3 in Shenzhen

By Gary Bailer, September 21, 2017

This summer, the PRD has seen its fair share of naked, usually harmless, folks out and about. A man in Shenzhen, however, recently bucked the trend by going on an alcohol-fueled rampage in nothing but his birthday suit.

The man was first caught on camera near the entrance of a parking garage in a Longgang District apartment complex. At 3.21am on September 18, CCTV footage shows him charging towards a pair of men chatting in front of him.

The man wearing a white shirt runs back towards the entrance, while his unlucky companion in black is chased in the other direction by the aggressive nudist.

After disappearing out of the range of the camera, the naked man appears again nine minutes later in the CCTV of a service elevator in a neighboring building.

This time he's alone, but blood appears to be smeared over his back and buttocks. The footage also shows him carrying a key in his hand.

According to police, who seized him shortly afterwards, the culprit is a 39-year-old man surnamed Deng. During his rampage, he attacked three men with his fists and feet, inflicting relatively light wounds.

Staff at the management office of the apartment complex say that all three victims were proprietors. The worst injury sustained was a cut on the arm that hit an artery, causing heavy bleeding.

The day after the attack, September 19, local TV reporters talked to Deng's mother, who lives in the apartment complex. According to her, Deng doesn't live with her and her husband, but he does sometimes visit. The 39-year-old is reportedly 'temporarily unemployed' and divorced his wife two years ago.

The night of the drunken rampage, she woke up a little past midnight and talked to Deng, who said he was watching ball and appeared to be drinking. She then went back to sleep. The next morning, she found out what he'd done.

Deng's mother insists that her son does not suffer from mental illness, and that he's never acted out after drinking before.

Deng himself told his mother he remembered nothing that happened on the night of the 18th. As of September 19, he was being detained by police.
