An Uber eats driver in Australia was caught on camera allegedly urinating in the lift of a customer's apartment. He has now been sacked.

Facing away from the camera, he reportedly reached for his pants and moved to the front corner of the lift. Afterwards, a noticeable wet patch is later visible on the lift's carpet after the driver steps out.

The driver's account has since been deactivated and he can no longer work for Uber Eats which in a statement, said that it was investigating the incident and “strongly condemn this kind of behavior, which has no place on the Uber platform.”

“Our community guidelines clearly set out the rules that we expect all users, including delivery people to follow, and breach of these guidelines can result in loss of access to the Uber app,” the report quoted Uber Eats as having said.

On top of this, the NSW Police also confirmed that officers have launched an investigation.

“It’s just revolting,” said resident and secretary of the building, Geoffrey Grasso to Australian radio station 2GB. “I don’t know what goes through somebody’s mind to think that that in any way, shape, size, or form, (is) acceptable.”

He added that the other residents were left “disgusted” by the incident.

Grasso also claimed that though the elevator has been cleaned, it “still smells” and requires no less than $2,000 of repairs.
