Strange case: Jan Magusin and daughter Nina
Man found naked in the woods with his eight-year-old daughter stripped to her underwear turned violent when police questioned him and insisted he was testing her resistance to the cold. He told police he was testing the girl's resistance to cold weather.
200 police officers were called in to search for Jan Magusin, 38, after he failed to take Nina to school and had not turned up to work near Bratislava, Slovakia.
Cyclist Josef Hanzlik, 30, who spotted the man on his knees on a forest path with the shivering girl in a nearby bush, said: "It was one of the most bizarre and disturbing things I have ever seen."
"I could see she was shivering and they were completely oblivious to me."
When police arrived at the spot three miles from where they had found his abandoned car, he became aggressive and had to be restrained.
A police spokesman said: "At first he seemed very confused but quickly turned aggressive and shouted abuse at the officers before trying to run off."
"After being caught he said he was testing his daughter's resistance to cold weather and it was none of our business how he did it."
The pair was taken to hospitals in the nearby Slovakian capital of Bratislava and the girl was discharged shortly after.
