Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen usually is pulling a fast one on unsuspecting Americans in the heartland or deep south, but now Italy has had a taste of the British comedian's covert ops on the catwalk during Milan Fashion Week.

The catwalk of the fashion show of designer Agatha Ruiz de la Prada in Milan was the latest stage for the flamboyantly gay Austrian model Bruno, played by Cohen in the titular film in production.

The Daily Mail reports that Cohen "strutted down the catwalk past the shows' models."

Unfortunately for Cohen, the police were brought in to restore order.  Cohen was taken away by the Italian police after the catwalk crash. According to reports, scantily clad models screamed and security guards dived on him and several others with him.

The latest film in production from Cohen is "Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Male."

The Daily Mail reports that Cohen, once canvassing the United States as Borat, "caused havoc after bursting into changing rooms."

The filming of "Bruno" is a mock documentary travelogue similar to "Borat".

According to the Daily Mail, Cohen donned fake passes, allowing him and his film crew to get past security to the backstage area of Italian label Iceberg's show.

The footage captured shows him dressed in head-to-toe velcro and wearing a blonde wig running about, screaming and hurling himself at the clothes racks, as Iceberg's stylist, Paolo Gerani, managed to stop the man and have the crew removed.
