You could barely see him – and that was the problem.
The latest streaker to traverse the Crossroads of the World had New Yorkers and tourists gaping at around 9:30 p.m. last night as he made a mad dash from the Times Square subway station at West 42nd Street.
“I heard everybody saying, ‘Wow!’ ” reported pretzel vendor Tawfik Abdel Rehim, 39.
A security guard said the man was darting alongside traffic, muttering “something about he was on his way home.”
According to police, the 44-year-old White Plains man, who has a history of psychiatric problems, took a MetroNorth train to The Bronx, where he switched to the subway and gradually began to disrobe.
“By the time he got to Times Square, he was naked,” an NYPD spokesman said. After being apprehended next to a vendor’s cart marked NUTS 4 NUTS , he was taken to Bellevue Hospital.
It’s becoming a Times Square trend. Three weeks ago, Brooklyn resident Josh Drimmer, 26, took a naked stroll along Seventh Avenue .
He later told The Post he’d had “a bad day.”
