Security footage has caught the 'very shocking' moment a man dressed as a woman placed a torch in his rectum and defecated in a hair salon's parking lot while touching himself and staring at CCTV cameras.

The man, who was wearing a skirt, tank top stuffed with tissues and heels, wandered around the parking lot of WA Salon Supplies, a training salon in Midvale, a west Perth suburb, for two hours in the early morning hours of Sunday.

When owner Natasha Newton came to work the following day, she said she feared someone had tried to break in because of damage to the front door, but got quite the fright when she watched the security footage.

'I was very shocked, actually,' Ms Newton told Daily Mail Australia.

'It's hard to explain because you just don't expect to see that, if you know what I mean – it was very weird.'

Ms Newton said she watched the man pull up to her shop in a utility truck before getting out and randomly walking around the car park.

'He got there, had a good look around and looked right into the camera,' Ms Newton said, adding that she believed the man wanted to be seen.

'He then went into his car, undressed, played with himself and popped a torch up his you know what,' Ms Newton said.

He continued to touch himself inappropriately while defecating and releasing the torch in the middle of the car park, all while staring at the camera, she said.

The man is seen using a wad of toilet paper before throwing it away from him.

Ms Newton said during the two hour 'random' incident, the man changed outfits three times and in one frame he appeared to be wearing a wedding ring.

'He'd gone out and had his fetish for the night and gone home to the missus,' owner Natasha Newton said, commenting that it appeared the man (pictured) was wearing a wedding ring

'He'd gone out and had his fetish for the night and gone home to the missus,' she said.

The footage has been handed over to WA police and an investigation is ongoing.
