Naked hiker rescued after getting lost in Los Angeles suburb

A hiker who got lost in hills in suburban Los Angeles was pictured getting rescued while completely in the nude.

Witnesses raised the alarm around 8:45 p.m. Monday after hearing someone crying for help in Chatsworth, the Los Angeles Fire Department said.

The stranded man was found by chopper around 45 minutes later — with photos obtained by CBS Los Angeles showing him waving for help while completely in the buff.

The photos, which digitally obscured anything intimate, showed him standing with his hands raised high while under a spotlight.

The unidentified man is thought to have been missing in the remote location since around 4 p.m., CBS Los Angeles said, without saying if it was known why he was naked.

He was hoisted from the helicopter by a rescuer and flown to a landing area, where he was assessed by paramedics, before being transported to a hospital.

The fire department said the hiker suffered minor injuries, but it was not immediately known what had happened to him.

The agency did not address the victim’s unexplained state of undress at the time of the rescue.

Temperatures in the area ranged between 40 and 69 degrees Monday, according to information from AccuWeather.com.

The Post reached out to the fire department Tuesday seeking comment on the incident.
