New Delhi: A man was arrested after stripping naked and nailing his own testicles to the ground in broad daylight and in full view of tourists at one of the world's most visited landmarks.
Red Square is witness to a number of historical events -from public executions to protests to military parades but a Russian man decided it was time to add some balls into the mix - his own.
A performance artist broke new ground on Sunday when he nailed his scrotum to cobblestones in a painful act of protest.
He shocked visitors in Moscow's Red Square by hammering a nail through his scrotum into cobblestones outside Lenin's Mausoleum, on the day Russia marked its Police Day national holiday.
Pyotr Pavlensky said that he did the rather painful protest as a response to Russia becoming a police state.
Pavlensky did his protest just in time for Police Day, a few days after the Ministry of Internal Affairs Choir released their cover of Daft Punk's "Get Lucky."
