A naked man has been exposing himself to women in Balaclava over recent weeks.

Police believe the same man is responsible for at least nine incidents, with the first reported on August 27 and the most recent on Tuesday.

An image of a man police want to speak to.

The man follows women walking alone late at night, then confronts them by asking for directions. He has been naked in all confrontations but has also been seen wearing a hooded jacket and jeans.

All incidents have occurred around Westbury, Carlisle and Inkerman streets between 9pm and 1am.

Moorabbin Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Unit detectives have released an image of a man, who is of African appearance and in his mid 20s, 173 centimetres tall, with a slim athletic build.
