Police called as man walks down busy city road completely naked

Police were called after a naked man was seen walking down a busy city road. Video shows the male striding along the pavement on Topsham Road in Exeter in the early hours of Saturday morning.

A woman on her way home from a night out says she was terrified by the unexpected encounter near Barrack Road. Two passers-by stopped to pick her up and she called 999. They took a short video as evidence and asked the man what he was doing.

The woman posted: "Actually never been so f***** scared in my whole life, walkin home and this man is butt f***** naked walking along Topsham Rd, tried walkin past and he's just coming towards me not saying anything, making me walk in the middle of the road," reports Devon Live.

"I've had to flag down passing traffic and thank f*** two blokes in a van stopped and got me in their van and stayed wiv me while I'm on the phone to the police!

"Apparently they've had few reports about it already! ! It takes a lot to scare me but f*** walkin home on my own at night again...actually shaking."

She says she was on the phone to her daughter at the time. She initially spotted the man darting in and out of bushes and 'didn't know where to look'.

"My daughter thought I was seeing things," said the woman. "It freaked me out. I'm in my forties and pretty streetwise and I've never been scared walking home in Exeter but it's made me not want to walk home on my own again.
