Residents of a normally quiet area of County Durham have been left shocked, after a man decided to go for a run this month - sporting nothing but a pair of trainers.
Annfield Plain's answer to Linford Christie' decided to go on a late evening jog just before 9pm on March 16, leaving many in the local area baffled by his choice of attire - or lack of. The man was spotted on Durham Road in Annfield Plain completely naked minus a pair of sporty running shoes, before darting off into the night down a side street.
Paul Hurst, who lives nearby, was one passing member of the public who got more than he bargained for when walking to the bus stop to catch a ride to work. Speaking to Chronicle Live, the 44-year-old said: "I'd left home to go to work, and I was going for the bus when I was confronted by Annfield Plain's answer to Linford Christie, but not a stitch on him.
