A 71-year-old man police describe as homeless has made a Bayonne apartment building hallway his personal toilet, authorities said.

On Sunday, for the second time in four days, police responded to 28 Ave. C to find that the man defecated inside the public housing building, Bayonne police Lt. Eric Amato said.

The man was taken into custody at 8 a.m. Sunday after police found him sitting on the second floor landing and human feces smeared on a wall on the first floor, Amato said.

On Jan, 10, police were called to the same building at 9:28 a.m. and found the man — who had been told numerous times in the past not to enter the building — sleeping in the hallway.

Police said the 71-year-old had defecated in the stairway and he was laying in human feces.

In both instances the man was charged with defiant trespass and criminal mischief, and issued a summons for defecating in public, Amato said. In each case he was taken to Hudson County jail and released.
