Bizarre moment naked man is seen casually jogging down an Adelaide stree, leaving motorists stunned
Disturbing images have emerged of a man running through the streets of a suburb stark naked except for socks and trainers.
A passing motorist was among those keeping an eye out as they captured the wild scenes on a dashcam in Croydon, inland Adelaide, recently.
The short clip showed the man seemingly unperturbed by his lack of clothing as he casually jogged along the sidewalk past houses.
A South Australian Police spokeswoman told Daily Mail Australia she was aware of the incident, but added it had not been reported.
Police warned that running naked in South Australia is an offense under the indecent exposure laws set out in the Summary Offenses Act 1953.
The maximum penalty for indecent exposure in a public place is a fine of up to $1,250 or three months behind bars.
The clip divided online viewers and sparked a wide range of reactions, from disgust to amusement
“At least he’s wearing socks and shoes,” someone joked.

Another joked: ‘Well done for taking up jogging but please remember your clothes next time.’
A third wrote: ‘I guess he lost a bet or something’
But not everyone saw the funny side and urged the man to be considerate of others.
‘Not funny, what if children come out of a house? Keep your clothes on,” one viewer wrote.
Police are appealing for anyone with information about the incident to contact Crime Stoppers.

The latest incident comes after police issued a warning for a separate incident in October following reports that a naked man had been spotted twice in a park.
The man, aged in his 40s, was first seen at Anstey Hill Recreational Park, in Adelaide’s north-east.
He ran and hid in the bushes after being spotted again in the northeast corner of the park.
Police searched the area at the time, but could not find him and called on hikers to remain vigilant.
