Naked climb on Whitehall Prince George statue: Man charged
A Ukrainian national has been charged after a man stripped naked on top of a statue in Whitehall in central London.
A man was seen in a variety of poses on the statue of Prince George, the Duke of Cambridge, on Friday.
Dan Motrescu, 29, of no fixed address, will appear in custody at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Monday.
He was charged with an offence contrary to Section 5 of the Public Order Act, possession of an offensive weapon in public and criminal damage to property.
The section of Westminster was brought to a halt for nearly three hours as a man straddled the statue in front of hordes of onlookers.
He was seen in a variety of poses on the statue, at times balancing precariously on the duke's head.
Onlookers said he was clothed before he climbed to the top of the statue.
A 100m (328ft) stretch of Whitehall was cordoned off as emergency services tried to persuade him to come down.
The man was seen waving his arms around and was talking to crews on the ground.
An unidentified man sits naked on top of the statue of Prince George, Duke of Cambridge outside the Ministry of Defence building in Whitehall in central London on Nov. 23. The man, who brought Whitehall to a standstill for almost two hours, stood naked on the statue and struck various poses before being eventually talked down.
LONDON -- A man who climbed naked onto an equestrian statue in London's government district, ripped off its sword and bit it has been sentenced to 12 weeks in jail.
Dan Motrescu brought central London traffic to a standstill when he mounted the bronze statue of the 19th-century Duke of Cambridge on Nov. 23.
Police cordoned off Whitehall, a street that is home to several government departments, as Motrescu climbed up and down the statue, at one point balancing himself on the duke's head.
It took several hours for officers to talk him down.
Motrescu, a Ukrainian citizen of no fixed address, was convicted Tuesday of possession of an offensive weapon, criminal damage and a public order offense. A magistrate at Westminster Magistrates' Court sentenced him to 12 weeks in jail.

50ft rubber duck enjoys bath in the Thames
It was bath-time at the Thames for this giant rubber duck toy which floated down the river to the delight of bemused commuters this morning.
The rubber duck floats under Tower Bridge. Picture: Lewis Whyld/PA Wire
The 50ft toy, which weighs half a ton, set off from West India Dock at the Isle of Dogs at 8.30am and made its way past Canary Wharf before sailing underneath Tower Bridge en route to HMS Belfast.
Former EastEnders star Barbara Windsor launched the duck to publicise the Facebook FUNdation, a Jackpotjoy.com bursery that will provide grants to Brits who come up with daft ideas to encourage people to have more fun.
The actress, who is patron of the website’s FUNdation, said: “We thought a giant rubber duck floating down the River Thames was a great way to kick the FUNdation off, and it definitely raised a smile and a chuckle from everyone who saw it.
“After the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Pageant, the floating Olympic rings and David Beckham jetting into the Olympic opening ceremony, the Thames really has seen it all this year.
“The giant duck was a perfect way to round it all off and it certainly cheered everyone up.”

Portland, Oregon--December 15, 2012-- Over 12,000 teddy bears were tossed onto the ice Saturday night after the Portland Winterhawks scored their first goal at 3:24 in the first period against The Seattle Thunderbirds. Players will later deliver teddy bears to patients at local hospitals, while the remaining bears are given away to charitable organizations.

Blonde becomes internet celebrity after posting dress on eBay without realizing she was also in the picture - NAKED from the waist down
A woman who listed her dress on eBay has become an instant celebrity after accidentally including a naked view of herself in the website listing.
The blonde, identified only by the user ID as 'sugart*t-2' hung the mustard yellow skater dress by ASOS on her wardrobe door to photograph it for listing.
But she failed to notice her own reflection in the door mirror, camera in hand, and in just a black bra and no knickers.
Bargain-hunters spotted her at the margin of the eBay picture and it was immediately shared on Twitter with the hash tag #ebayyellowskaterdress. Within hours it had gone viral.
Embarrassed eBay managers pulled the entry before the sale ended, but an unabashed Sugart*t-2, who lives in Oxfordshire, has now relisted the dress with a similarly-posed picture - only this time it shows her - just about covered up - in a dark Nike top.
