| Vitaly Grodi screamed at police not to cover him up as he lay on the ground handcuffed |
A drunk taxi driver who smashed into 12 cars told police he decided to get into his cab naked after his girlfriend dumped him.
Police were alerted to the man's erratic driving when he took a wrong turn in central Moscow.
They then watched in disbelief as the man, named on Russian TV as taxi driver Vitaly Grodi, narrowly avoided hitting a schoolbus, ramming a police van and smashing several other cars.
Eventually the man was caught and officers who asked him to step out of his car were stunned after seeing the driver was naked.
Footage shown on Russian TV shows damage to man's grey taxi, with a front wheel missing and a headlight smashed in.
Grodi, who wasn't even wearing shoes, screamed at police not to cover him up as he lay on the ground handcuffed.

Officers managed to cuff the driver and cover him with two coats.
On video footage the man is lying on the pavement screaming 'don't cover me!' to officers who tried to cover him with clothes.
The man said he came from the ex-Soviet nation of Moldova and was in distress over an unhappy relationship.
Grodi told the police his behavior was down to being unhappy in love.
