A MAN was arrested after he was seen standing naked at his front gate in daylight.

Bury magistrates were told Ronald Proudman, aged 54, was spotted by a woman who was walking to the bus station in Whitefield.

The court was told she was in a state of shock and felt physically sick.

The police went to Proudman's home in Stanley Road, Whitefield, where he was questioned.

Magistrates were told Proudman had a series of previous convictions for similar offences.

The case against Proudman, who pleaded guilty to wilfully, openly, lewdly and obscenely exposing himself, was adjourned until October 25.
