After the comedian was removed, he covered his head in one of the pieces velcroed to him, wrapped his black cape around him and Milan police took him down to the station.
Dressed in a velcro suit he was bundled away by security guards and taken to a nearby police station where he was formally identified.
A police officer at Milan Sempione police station said: ‘A British national by the name of Sacha Baron Cohen was brought here and identified.
‘He did not have any ID documents on him so someone was sent to his hotel when he got here to fetch his passport.
‘He was actually very funny and the first thing he said was ‘Can I make a phone call’ like they do on TV.’
Cohen was released without charge and was last night still thought to be in Milan.

Security at Fashion Week had been increased especially for Cohen after earlier in the week he and his film crew found their way backstage of another show by Italian designer Iceberg.
Scantily clad models screamed and security guards dived on him and several others with him and bundled them away. TV footage screened on Italian TV showed Cohen dressed as his creation Bruno, a flamboyant Austrian fashionista.

Sacha Baron Cohen is in Milan filming his next mocumentary style movie Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Male. I must admit, I have a thing for Cohen, so I’ll be seeing the movie, but the ridiculously long movie title was only funny the first time. And even then only the first time I heard it.
Note by JayBird: Here’s Sacha on the catwalk. He doesn’t get very far before security pounces on him.
