Rudy Giuliani arrived Tuesday at a Manhattan hotel for what he thought was a serious interview about the coronavirus but ended up calling the police on bikini-wearing prankster Sacha Baron Cohen .

Giuliani, President Donald Trump s attorney and the former New York City mayor, told the New York Posts Page Six that he settled in for a sit-down about the White House response to the pandemic.

A woman began to ask questions and then, Giuliani said, This guy comes running in, wearing a crazy, what I would say was a pink transgender outfit. It was a pink bikini, with lace, underneath a translucent mesh top, it looked absurd. He had the beard, bare legs, and wasnt what I would call distractingly attractive.

Giuliani said he didnt immediately recognize the screaming and yelling actor. I thought this must be a scam or a shake-down, so I reported it to the police, he told the gossip section. He then ran away.
