Chilling footage shows the moment a naked man chased a woman down the street before grabbing her around the waist in Brazil.
The woman, who cannot be identified, was walking alone close to her home in the rain around 7.25am on Tuesday in Buzios, a beach resort in the lake regions of Rio de Janeiro, when she was attacked.
Shocking CCTV shows how the man drove up behind her in his car before pulling over and climbing out of the vehicle while completely nude.
Police in Brazil have arrested a man for sexual harassment after he was caught on CCTV chasing a woman up the street naked after accosting her in his car
Chilling video shows the man driving up beside the woman and trying to talk to her, before apparently fondling himself and chasing her up the street
The woman, carrying an umbrella to shield herself from the rain, can be seen taking a wide berth around the vehicle to avoid speaking to the pervert.
It is unclear whether the unsuspecting woman realised the driver was naked, as much of the car looks like it is shielding his lower half from view.
His bare chest would have been clearly on display.
As the man stands beside his car the woman keeps her head down and continues up the street.
The man hesitates for several seconds while standing in front of the car, apparently fondling himself.
Then, after a brief glance behind as if checking that no one is coming, the suspect suddenly breaks into a run and chases after the victim.
The pair disappear off screen and security cameras do not register the moment the aggressor catches up with her.
Police say the man then grabbed the woman around the waist but abandoned the attack after she began screaming for help and ran back to his vehicle (pictured)
Officers were able to identify the man by his car licence plates and he was arrested hours later. Investigations are still being carried out
The victim claimed she ran for her life screaming for help as the bare-skinned pervert chased after her.
According to investigators he briefly grabbed her around the waist but she was able to escape his clutches and shake him off.
Because it was pouring down at the time of the alleged assault, cops also believe the accused, who had left his driver’s door open and the windscreen wipers operating, felt rattled and decided to abandon his plans.
Moments later the man is recorded racing back to his silver coloured Ford Ka.
The accused was later registered backing up and driving off down a remote road before getting dressed and returning to the city’s main routes.
Investigators said a camera attendant, whose reflection can be seen during the recording, identified the vehicle’s owner by the number plates.
Police immediately launched a manhunt and the accused was arrested within a matter of hours.
He has been charged with sexual assault pending further investigations.
