'He had his clothes on, at that point, and then he started standing there with his arms crossed and hollering at the lady at the desk,' Sherry Ketchie told WBTV

'He stood there for a moment and then started taking off his clothes. I ain't never seen nothing [like that] in my life.'

Airport security surrounded the man as he started to strip, but he stood naked on the concourse for about an hour, said Ketchie. 

'I was not expecting to see nothing like that, I've never seen nothing like that at Charlotte Douglas airport. Never,' she said. 'And that's when I got out my phone and started taking pictures.' \

The man was taken by medics for treatment and a spokesperson told WBTV that he 'was suffering from a medical issue.' 

Police don't plan to file any charges. 

The disturbance lasted an hour before the man was taken away by police, who've said they won't charge him as he 'was suffering from a medical issue'
