A Melton South man has been charged after an alleged incident at Point Addis Beach last night.

It’s alleged the naked 54 year old commited a ‘lewd act’ at the water’s shore near a pair of female surfers.

The surfers then allegedly sought assistance from passers-by who confronted the man.

There was then an alleged verbal altercation before the man began following the surfers again.

Police were called around 6pm and promptly arrested the man.

He has been charged with sexual activity directed at another person and has been bailed to appear before Geelong Magistrates Court in February 2022.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or who can provide more information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
