This is the disgusting moment a 'minicab driver' apparently caught short during his shift pulled up outside a row of houses and defecated in the street.

The incident is said to have happened in Streatham, south London, late at night.

A security camera installed on the wall of one of the homes in a side street captured what happened - in astonishingly grim detail.

The CCTV video footage begins by showing absolutely nothing happening at all - as it appears to be an average quiet night in suburbia.

Then suddenly a car with its headlights on appears and pulls up alongside the kerb to park.

Its driver shuffles around in his seat for a while - possibly looking for something or finishing his food or a phonecall.

Nothing particularly odd in that.

He then gets out and takes a look around as if to see if anyone is near - or is looking at him.

It's clear that he has something hanging from his neck similar to the identity tags worn by licensed minicab drivers.

He then saunters round to the back of his car as if he is going to fetch something from the boot.

But no - before you know it, he drops his trousers and crouches down behind the back of his car to do his business.

Once done, he jumps back up, and quickly pulls up his trousers and gets back to the side of his car - as if nothing has happened.

Nothing that is apart from the fact every second has been picked up by a security camera filming him.

After getting himself together, the man went back to his car to get a tissue, which he then used to pick up the mess.

When he drove off into the distance, the driver probably thought he had got away unseen.

But that was before the footage was uploaded and shared online...
