Police launched an investigation after footage emerged on social media showing a naked man wearing a black mask and sneakers walking down the street at night.
The video, which has gone viral online, is believed to have been filmed in Lytham, Lancashire.
The footage shows a man wearing only a mask and black and white sneakers walking along a line of residential buildings.
Lancashire Police said the incident took place at around 12.50am on July 18 in the area of Westby Street, Cleveland Road and Bannister Street, despite Facebook posts suggesting it happened later in the month.
A police spokesman said: “We are aware of a disturbing video circulating on social media which shows a naked man with his face covered walking in Lytham in the early hours of this morning.
“Initially, information about this incident was not passed on to the police and we only found out about it after it was posted on Facebook.
“The Fylde Rural Task Force is currently carrying out CCTV and door-to-door visits and would like to reassure you that we are taking this matter very seriously.”
Police are urging anyone with information or relevant footage to contact [email protected].
