The clip, which was published on Facebook earlier today, shows an individual in a sinister mask lurking near The Coach and Horses.
The figure was caught on film by a group of teenagers who heard there was a clown in the local area and had gone to investigate.
As they approach the man, who is stood in a wooded area, he starts to give chase.
The sighting yesterday evening is the latest in a spate of incidents of people putting on scary clown costumes in an attempt to frighten passers-by.
Over the weekend, another masked figure was spotted hiding in the bushes near the shops in Shard End Crescent.
The trend started in America, but there have been an increasing number of reports around the UK in the past few days.
Police have been called to some incidents and forces have warned the pranksters that while their actions may seem like harmless fun, some people are likely to be distressed.
