A suspect was arrested after walking naked through the campus of Korea University in Seoul.

Seoul's Seongbuk Police Station arrested the suspect, who is in their 20s, on indecent exposure charges, Yonhap and other media outlets reported Monday.

The suspect is accused of wandering naked through Korea University's Anam Campus in Seongbuk-gu around 2:30 p.m. that day. Officers who responded to a report of the incident arrested the suspect at the scene.

The suspect was confirmed to have no affiliation with the university.

The arrest is the latest in a series of indecent exposure incidents on and near university campuses in recent months.

In August, a masked man wearing nothing else sexually assaulted a student in front of a dormitory at Yonsei University's Sinchon Campus before fleeing.

On June 12, a masked naked man sexually assaulted a passerby on a trail along Ansanjarak-gil, and on July 21, a man in the same attire was reported by a passerby after being spotted hiding in bushes near the same trail.
