An elderly man was arrested on a charge of public indecency after being seen having sex with a plant on the street, police in Connecticut said.

Stratford police said that they have arrested 81-year-old Wallace Berg on Monday, after being accused of standing naked in the street and having sex with a plant.

According to the police investigation, a neighbor saw Berg standing naked across his home and decided to take video of him.

The neighbor managed to record Berg committing an indecent act with the plant. The neighbor then went to confront Berg, after which he covered himself with a grill cover, apologized and went home.

After police saw the video, Berg was charged with public indecency and breach of the peace. He was booked into jail, and his bail was set at $10,000.
