An 18-year-old rode a stolen bicycle naked through a Sussex town after eating magic mushrooms.

The teen, who had eaten the caps of nightshade mushrooms – which can be deadly, also ran from Arundel to Littlehampton during the same incident on Saturday.

The bike was stolen from Worthing Road, Littlehampton.

After alighting it in Littlehampton witnesses reported the teen, from Bournemouth, running in and out of traffic.

Several people called the police about him and the man was taken to Worthing Hospital where he was discharged the following day.
