A sickening video has captured the moment a woman squats beside a train station and apparently poos on the street in front of passing pedestrians.

The shocking video has left viewers appalled as the woman appears to pull down her trousers and relieve herself in broad daylight.

The amateur mobile phone footage was shot by a passer-by who could not believe the woman’s "bravery" - and her shamelessness.

The incident outside the central railway station of Dalian, a major port city in China’s north-eastern Liaoning Province, occurred as people passed by the woman, who somehow managed to do the deed while ignoring all the other pedestrians.

The middle-aged woman, who was described as "well-dressed", was then filmed suddenly squatting down next to a pillar outside the building and defecating, after which she wipes her behind and leaves the tissue on the ground.

The owner of the video said the woman calmly walked away from the site, without so much as a glance around.

After the footage was uploaded online, it quickly went viral - with viewers criticising the woman and saying it was people like her who gave the country a poor public image.

Those online users who sought to defend the woman were also left struggling to find a valid excuse as there were apparently plenty of public toilets available inside the railway station.

Viewers said that even if there were no public toilets available at the time, her behaviour would still not be deemed acceptable in modern society.

It's not the first time a member of the public has been caught pooing on camera after a woman was seen squatting in the aisle of a supermarket and defecating in a refrigerated food display .
