A man dressed as a giant willy has been seized by police after women complained he had been harassing them.

Military Police in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, arrested the man in the city centre on 19th February for ‘acting suspiciously’.

A picture of the arrest shows the man wearing an inflatable manhood costume and a pair of flip-flops being led away peacefully by an officer.

Just his feet and his face can be seen as the officer – with a baton tucked under his arm – takes him into custody.

Carnival goers in the city told police he had been using his costume to chase women taking part in the city’s parades, reported local media.

Twitter user Samuel Greik commented: “Hard reality.”

Other netizens suggested he looked more like a poo than a penis.

And he was not the only Carnival reveller seized over the weekend.

Police on patrol in Santa Luzia, Minas Gerais State, arrested a 20-year-old dressed as a prisoner as he left his home to join a parade on 18th February.

He was about to board a bus to Belo Horizonte with a pal when officers approached them.

He was wearing a red top, shorts with the acronym of the National Penitentiary Department (DEPEN), and a homemade electronic ankle tag.

Officers seized 15 portions of cannabis and another 15 of cocaine from the bum bag worn by one of the men.

The pair confessed to the cops that they were planning to take some of the drugs and sell the rest at Carnival.
