Police in Fairfax County, Virginia, arrested a man after they said he crashed his pick-up truck, stripped naked in Tuesdays freezing temperatures and jumped onto a moving truck.

Jose Gonzalez Flores, 32, allegedly crashed into two cars near Dulles International Airport and assaulted one of the other drivers involved in the incident. Flores then went back to his vehicle, threw objects onto Sully Road and removed his clothing before jumping onto the moving truck, according to the police . He apparently broke the window of that truck and used a knife to stab the vehicles roof.

Once that driver stopped, police said Flores fled from the scene and was found later in a drainage ditch on Dulles Airport property. The warrants against Flores will not be served until he is released from the hospital, where he was admitted for non-life-threatening injuries, according to authorities.
