Subway busker strips for shocked commuters

POLICE in Bucharest have received reports of a woman stripping and performing a pole dance for cash in front of shocked subway passengers.

TRAVELLERS in Bucharest came face to flesh with an extreme form of busking – a woman apparently stripping for cash while pole dancing on a subway train.

Shocked commuters were subjected to a saucy striptease with the woman stripping down to her underwear, before asking the packed train for money, reports BalkanInsight.com.

One traveller recorded the strip on a phone camera, and has posted the footage on the UGC video website LiveLeak.

The video shows the performer slipping out of a tiny dress and then her underwear to music from the popular British film The Full Monty, played on portable CD player. She then slides around a pole in the centre of the busy train in front of bemused commuters, before passing around a KFC container for passengers to show their appreciation.

While some commuters happily paid for the entertainment, others have condemned the stripping, describing the act as "not proper", Balkaninsight.com reported.

Authorities say the reason the woman has not been caught is because she performs the striptease on trains without guards, or closed-circuit television systems.

The stripper has been described as an attractive, student-looking woman.
