Naked man gives chase

Friday, November 21, 2008

A 61-YEAR-OLD Territory man has stood naked in his back yard and used a garden hose to fight off a teenage intruder.

And when the 20m-long hose could not be extended any longer, he chased the youth down the street in nothing but his birthday suit.

But Walter Mayer - a fit and healthy TV repairman - said his actions were not brave.

"It was quite foolish when you sit and think about it now," he said.
