A naked rampage in California has left residents of an apartment complex in shock after a bare man ran around their parking lot at night and smashed headfirst into vehicles.
Clarisa Vidrio of Anaheim told KTLA News that she spotted 21-year-old Garrett Smith sprinting towards the trunk of her neighbor's van around 11:30pm on Saturday before he bounced off and did a backwards somersault.
Distressed by the scene, she quickly got into her car and attempted to drive off, but a bloodied Smith erratically jumped on her bonnet.
Vidrio sped up in a state of panic and dethroned the unclothed rider by bumping into a parked van.
'I saw the guy flying off the car... I literally thought I was going to die that day,' she recalled.
Proving her observations, a surveillance camera caught the unusual incident unfold.
Footage released, shows Smith getting up and wearily crouching over after he was hit.
Another resident from the apartment complex then goes over to greet him before he starts running again.
The witness described the scene as 'something beyond his imagination.'
