A 'human tree' was arrested after he kept slowly shuffling back and forth in front of traffic and blocking a busy intersection.

The man behind the foliage – Asher Woodworth - initially refused to speak to police as he was marched (painfully slowly) from the crossing.

But after the 30-year-old de-timbered he explained that he wanted to see how people would react to his "performance" and said he was intrigued how he might impact "people's natural choreography."
