Notorious prankster Sacha Baron Cohen decided to disrupt the Agatha Ruiz de la Prada show during Milan Fashion Week Thursday by taking it upon himself to strut his silly stuff as one of his many alter egos, flamboyant Austrian model Bruno.

Upon refusing to step off, security guards were called in and he was subsequently taken to a local police station, as this video shot by an Italian TV crew shows. No charges, however, were filed.

Bruno, er, Cohen is in Milan shooting yet another film with a long quirky title—Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Male

Was Cohen simply having a little fun with the fashionistas, or did he give new meaning to the term fashion faux pas? Sound off in the comments section!
