PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Police say they’ve arrested a man dressed as a tree in Portland, Maine, for blocking traffic.
The man did not respond to officers when they warned him against obstructing traffic in a busy intersection in the city’s downtown.
WCSH-TV posted video of the man being arrested after he blocked traffic again.
A friend of the man says he was attempting to study the city’s traffic patterns.
The man appeared to be dressed as a pine tree or other type of evergreen.
Portland police were not immediately available to provide more details about the incident, including the name of the man or the specific charge.
