A news report has emerged from China that claims a man regularly sneaks into women’s loos to eat FAECES.

The report said the Guangdong man was caught emerging from the toilet after indulging in his mind-bogglingly disgusting habit.

Shanghaiist.com - a legitimate news source - suggests he has done it for eight years.

A translation of the broadcast said: "A man has been spotted on multiple occasions entering a ladies' restroom at a shopping centre in the Pengjiang district of Jiangmen city, Guangdong province, and eating excrement found in the toilet.

"According to a security guard at the shopping plaza, the man has been spotted visiting the toilets since early this year.

"He goes to the second floor ladies' room to find faeces to eat. He usually comes between 8am to 10am during the first half of the day, and then comes again at around 3pm," the guard said.

He added that the man walks in on women before they're able to finish flushing the toilet.”

The news source claims a local female resident told Guangdong TV that reports of the man wandering into the public restrooms have left her feeling incredibly uneasy, especially because he's been seen lurking in another female toilet nearby.

A doctor from the No. 3 Hospital of Jiangmen city told reporters that it's very possible that he has a history of mental illness.

The women's toilets at the mall have been locked up, and residents are now calling on the government to help seek treatment for the man.

A reporter confronted the man, who says he eats faeces when he's hungry, always feels better after eating it - and has been doing so for eight years.
