Borat’s Sacha Baron Cohen nabbed by police for prank on Milan catwalk

September 28th, 2008 by Scott Marks

Sacha Baron Cohen received a polizia escort off the runway during Friday’s  Agata Luiz della Prada show. The comedian, best known for his wildly inventive character Borat, stormed the Milanese fashion show while filming a stunt for his upcoming Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Male.

Earlier this week Cohen and his crew crashed a show by Italian designer Iceberg. Despite the heightened security at Friday’s show, they once again managed to get backstage. The Daily Mail reports: “Dressed in a velcro suit (Cohen) was bundled away by security guards and taken to a nearby police station where he was formally identified. A police officer at Milan Sempione police station said: ‘A British national by the name of Sacha Baron Cohen was brought here and identified.’”

Zany cut-up Cohen kept the poliziotti in stitches. “‘He was actually very funny,” the officer on duty told the Mail, “and the first thing he said was ‘Can I make a phone call’ like they do on TV.’”

Cohen was released without charge and is thought to be cooking up his next act of anarchy somewhere in Milan.

Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Male is set to open on May 15, 2009.
