A second woman was approached by the same unknown man who attempted to kidnap a jogger in Fendalton on Monday, police say.

Detective Senior Sergeant Damon Wells said police now believe the man approached the second woman on Fendalton Rd later that morning at 6.55am near the intersection of Clyde and Fendalton Rds.

The man was seen lying down at the corner of Clyde and Creyke Rds, Wells said. He may have been captured on passing motorists' dashcams.

Wells urged anyone who was in the area at the time and may have footage that could help police to call 105.
