Howay the nads

Naked and wet, this film shows a real drip being thrown from a jet ski into the Tyne. The video, posted on website YouTube, shows the man - who is on a stag do - on the back of a jet ski cutting through the Tyne under the Gateshead Millennium Bridge.

It begins with the title "Newcastle... June 2007" with The Sage Gateshead in the backdrop to a shot of the Millennium Bridge.

Suddenly a jet ski appears in the water, the driver's identity hidden by a helmet, with a naked man on the back waving to those taking the film.



The pair zip up the river and turn around to accelerate back to the bridge before taking a turn that sees them both thrown from the machine.

People working for the emergency services criticised the partygoer.

Chief Insp John Van, of Northumbria Police's operations department, said: "This appears to be a foolhardy act which could have had seri ous consequences."
