Earlier this week, an unnamed man was caught sneaking into women's restroom inside a shopping center in Pengjiang district of Jiangmen City in China's Guangdong province. According to reports, the man was eating excrement found in the toilets.

According to Shanghaiist, a security guard at the shopping plaza said he has been spotted visiting the toilets since early this year

"He goes to the second floor ladies' room to find [feces] to eat. He usually comes between 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. during the first half of the day, and then comes again at around 3:00 p.m.," the guard said, adding that the man walks in on women before they're able to finish flushing the toilet.

However, one has to wonder why the security guard never stopped him, despite being aware of his actions to the point where he knew the man's whole schedule and plane of action?

Meanwhile, the women's toilets at the mall have been locked up.

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.

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.

The habit of eating feces is called coprophagia.

It has been observed in individuals with schizophrenia and pica, an appetite for substances that are largely non-nutritive, such as paper, clay, metal, chalk, soil, glass, sand, or feces.

Coprophagia is depicted in pornography, under the term scat.
