A whistleblower has allegedly been arrested in China after secretly filming 'piles of body bags at a hospital in coronavirus-stricken Wuhan'.

Shocking footage - which MailOnline has been unable to verify - appears to show eight bodies in a bus outside the locked-down city's Number Three hospital.

The recorder also claims he has seen more bodies inside waiting to be transferred.

It comes as 361 people have died from the virus in China, and one person has died from the infection in the Philippines.

Whistleblower published shocking footage - unconfirmed by MailOnline - which appeared to show body bags stacked inside a bus outside Wuhan's Number Three hospital

The 75-second video shows what recorder Fang Bin says are eight bodies stacked on top of each other inside a bus.

He then claims to have seen more bodies when entering the hospital, including one lying on a ward next to other sick patients.

His footage captures medics attempting to treat sufferers while wearing hazmat suits and alleged coronavirus-sufferers appearing to moan in pain.

When he leaves the hospital, it appears that another body has been placed into the waiting bus.

'So many people just died?,' he asked a man wearing protective gear, 'When did this happen? Yesterday? There are so many bodies.'

The footage came to light after it was shared by Chinese journalist Jennifer Zeng on Twitter.

A separate tweet posted by account hujongxiong then alleges to show Mr Bin being arrested by officers that come to his flat and ask to take his temperature as they are 'concerned' by his hospital visit.

Unconfirmed reports say that Mr Bin has now been freed. The video was reportedly taken on Saturday last week.

It will put renewed pressure on China to be more transparent about the outbreak, following rumours that more people are affected than China has said.

A video was previously circulated last week claiming as many as 90,000 people had caught coronavirus, and people have been filmed collapsing in the street allegedly due to the infection.
