Numerous people called police after spotting a naked man wearing sunglasses dancing around Levenshulme on Saturday morning.

The man was spotted striding around the Barlow Road area with a stop watch and what appears to be an ID badge round his neck. He was also wearing tan boots.

Mobile phone footage recorded just after 10am shows him walking across the road and into someone’s front garden. He appears happy, dancing and smiling at passers by.

His attention turns to the people in the passing car who are filming him, he smiles and then merrily marches out of the garden back onto the pavement, pulling the gate behind him.

More than a dozen people called Greater Manchester Police to report the man.

A spokesman for GMP confirmed they received multiple calls. They said they sent officers to the scene, but there was no sign of him.

The spokesman added: “We were called just after 10.15am on Saturday morning to reports of a man with no clothes on in the Barlow Road area of Levenshulme.

“Officers attended and carried out a search of the area but found no trace of him.

“They have been no further reports of the man since officers attended.”

Police say the man was between 30 and 40.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101 quoting the log number 769 of February 3.
