Stripping tourist admitted to mental health unit
An Israeli tourist who gave workmen an eyeful when she stripped naked in the far north town of Kerikeri has been admitted to a mental health unit after attracting police attention again.
Last week wolf-whistles from workmen prompted the 31-year-old tourist to strip before withdrawing money from an ATM machine.
The woman told police she was leaving the country but was arrested on Friday night after allegedly stubbing out a cigarette on the face of a bar worker in Coromandel, the New Zealand Herald reported.
The woman appeared in the Hamilton District Court on Saturday charged with assault with intent to injure.
She was remanded to Waikato Hospital's mental health unit.
