Expats in Bali have appealed for help identifying an Irishman who turned up on the streets with horrific leg injuries.

The man, believed to be in his mid 20s, has been spotted a number of times on the Indonesian island.

Now users on a Facebook page for expats living on the paradise island have appealed for anyone who knows him to come forward.

One Facebook user explained that she met the man in the cultural town of Ubud with “infections on his leg”.

They added: “Some moments he was very aware and alert other moments he wasn't. He said he had a motorbike accident in Kuta - but not everthing he said might be true.

“No hospital/clinic wanted to take him.”

The man told the good samaritan that he was living in Australia for two years but was originally from Ireland and was 26.

Others on the group said they had seen him recently in surfing spot Kuta Bali and that he had refused help.
