New Jersey police are trying to identify a man found wandering naked through a forested area Sunday afternoon. The man, who police said was covered in mud, couldn't provide any information about his identity or where he was coming from, NJ.com reported.
Mahwah police said they received a call around noon Sunday that a man was wandering naked through the woods off Route 202.
The man had no signs of injuries, Mahwah Chief James N. Batelli told msnbc.com, but was taken to Bergen Regional Medical Center for an evaluation.?Police found a pile of clothes nearby that may belong to the man and some paperwork from New York State, but no identifying documents were found.
The man didn't appear to have been in the forest long, Batelli said. He is relatively healthy and not malnourished, and there was only a slight hair growth on his face.
The man, who is believed to be in his late 30s or early 40s, doesn't say much and does not appear lucid, Batelli said. Police released the man's photo Sunday, but so far no one has called with any information.
After the man mentioned Ocean County to a nurse Sunday, police reached out to their counterparts there. The investigation continues, and Batelli said he hopes the man's fingerprints will yield more information.
If he is cleared medically Monday, police will bring the man for fingerprinting and submit the prints electronically, Batelli said.
