Shoppers were left stunned after a man walked down Londons busiest and popular shopping street Oxford Street on Friday wearing only a mask as underpants. Not just that, the man was bare from behind. Incorrectly following the government’s advice on wearing a mask, the man wore the light blue surgical mask covering his groin and walked along Central Londons Oxford Street.

Few pedestrians stopped and took photos of the almost naked man, while others stared in amazement. The reason behind pulling off the stunt wasn’t clear but to contain the spread of COVID-19, United Kingdom government made wearing of masks compulsory in shops, takeaways, banks, public transport and other public places on Friday.
