Naked woman shocks passengers

Commuters on the Vienna underground were stunned at the sight of a young woman passenger wearing bothing but a pair of boots.

Staff are now studying CCTV footage for a clue to the identity of the naked woman who travelled on the train for several stops before getting off.

Witnesses say she seemed unperturbed by her lack of clothing - despite the fact that many parts Austria had experienced heavy snow falls and the temperature in Vienna was close to freezing.

One passenger who saw the woman at the Kardinal-Nagl-Platz station said: "I couldn't believe it when she stepped on the train and when some people grabbed their mobile telephones and started taking pictures she didn't object - in fact she even seemed to be posing for the camera."

He said that a few stops later the young woman climbed off the train without saying anything.

One local newspaper is now offering her a photoshoot - if she agrees to come forward and and explain the story behind the stunt.
