Britain's most famous streaker landed in hospital after his latest naked romp made diners see red at a black tie dinner.
Mark Roberts streaked the "Scouseology Awards" at the five star Crowne Plaza Hotel in Liverpool.
And after he was wrestled to the ground Mark came away not only covered in embarassment but also with a broken toe that needed medical treatment.
The £50 a head event sees local celebrities and personalities praised for their contribution to the city's culture and commercial life.
Liverpudlian Mark, wearing only a black cape and Zorro mask, jumped onto the stage alongside compere Pauline Daniels.
Women cheered and squealed in astonishment as Mark pranced on the stage before the 450-strong audience at the annual event that included names like funnymen Ricky Tomlinson and Stan Boardman.
Yet the smile was wiped off Mark's face when half a dozen men angrily jumped to their feet and started chasing him round the room.
Mark claims to hold the record for the greatest ever number of streaks, having stripped-off to run at public events more than 400 times all over the world.
Of those more than 100 have been in his native city but unemployed building worker Mark says the latest reation to his streak in Liverpool was the most violent he has ever encountered.
Mark, 38, said: "I have streaked Fred's weather map on This Morning, the American NFL Superbowl, the Grand National, to name but a few, but I have never had such bad reaction.
"I can only think that so many comedians in one place must create a bad atmposphere. The women loved it but the men seemed to go mad and about half a dozen guys started chasing me round the room.
"I tried to get away but they finally corned me and got me in a had lock and put my harm up my back.
"They had me pinned down on the floor and were trampling all over me. Someone stamped on my left foot and broke a bone in my second toe.
"The toes has swolen up to four times its normal size and I am limping around. It's really painful.
"I'm left covered in bruises where they manhandled me. I have never been treated so badly anywhere I have gone - either by the public or even security guards or the police.
"I can't understand why there was such a hostile reception and especially at the Scouseology Awards which is supposed to be all about celebrating the fact that we have a sense of humour here in Liverpool.
"I can only think they must have had a bit to much to drink or that they had a sense of humour by-pass when they stuck their bow-ties on."
Mark, of Old Swan, Liverpool, told how he was ejected - still naked - through a hotel emergency exit into a freeazing cold night but managed to recover his clothes which a wellwisher carried out of the front door.
Added Mark: "I usually get a very positive reaction and even at this event the women loved it. But there was a gang of men who could not see the funny side.
"The compere even hurled an insult to me over the mic and said ''We've got a proper streaker here in Liverpool'. I shouted back "It's me!" but she did not want to
know.
"It will make me think twice before I streak in Liverpool again. I think some of the people in the old place are losing their sense of fun."
Celebrating 21 years of Scouseolgy Awards, all proceeds from the event went to Children In Need.
Event Organiser Arthur Johnson said: "The streaker suddenly appeared on stage with Pauline.
"She took the mickey out of him for a minute and suggested it was time he left.
"He didn't move, so, as the organiser of the event, I went up to the stage and tried to shift him.
"This sparked off a Tom and Jerry style chase around the room - me in black tie chasing him.
"Finally with the help of a couple of lads from the production team we got him out of the fire door and pulled it shut.
"No unreasonable force was used and I've no idea how his toe would have been broken.
"Looking back, it was hilarious. But at the time, there is a limit to the sense of humour you can allow to a streaker. I was concerned for Pauline.
"We raised over £2,000 for Children In Need and we had a great night celebrating Scouse talent."
