One nude Las Vegas man decided to take GTA from PS5 to IRL, beating the hell out of a local cop before hijacking — and quickly crashing — his patrol cruiser.
The guerrilla Rockstar games reboot went down on Tuesday evening after a 29-year-old man allegedly suffering a mental health crisis went to town on a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police officer, hopping into the driver’s seat of his LVMD-branded Metro Ford F-150 after beating him to the ground.

Though Kyle Evan, who filmed the now-viral clip of the incident, was initially convinced the naked guy would get a sweet taste of instant karma — “You got a cop and a naked dude,” he told local news outlet KLAS, noting that he “thought he was going to be handcuffed and thrown to the ground” — his reflexes were apparently too damn quick.
The cop attempted to wrangle back control of his vehicle, clinging to the driver’s seat door for dear life, yet the nude driver lost him after hitting the gas, speeding down the road with the lights still blaring.
While the driver, still in the buff, managed to evade officers for several miles in a high-speed chase, his terrifying joy ride came to a screeching halt after he ran a red light, slamming into a Ford Explorer. Both the driver and the passenger were injured in the ordeal.
We’ll have to wait and see whether the naked thief will be convicted on all of the felony charges he now faces, including robbery, grand larceny of a motor vehicle and battery on a protected person, yet until then, one thing is certain — it’s always better to leave GTA to the small screen.
