Footage has been shared online, showing a man in a supermarket grabbing a tub of ice cream, scooping some out with his finger to taste it before putting it back in the freezer.

The gross incident took place in a supermarket in Mexico City, with the the man, who pulled down his face mask to taste the ice cream, reportedly filming the clip to share on his TikTok account.

The video has since been deleted.

In the clip he can be seen opening the freezer and retrieving a tub of ice cream. He pops the lid off and pulls down his mask before sticking his finger into the frozen treat.

He licks his finger and tells the camera 'it's good' before putting the lid back on and returning it to the freezer. Grim.

According to reports in local media the man is yet to be identified and it's not clear if authorities, or the supermarket's owner, are investigating the incident.

However, shocked social media users have slammed the fella for his actions and say he should be charged with a crime against public health amid the coronavirus outbreak.

One person wrote: "Human stupidity is amazing; I hope he is located and reported."

While a second added: "I hope he is lynched." Bit strong, mate. They comtinued: "This should not be done, not now or never. I hope this comes to the authorities and they do something accordingly."

A third person said: "Stupid, unconsciousness, zero empathy."

Last month, a US resident shared footage of a man licking his doorbell, seemingly unaware he was being filmed.

Matthew Wehmeier of Batesville, Arkansa, posted a clip showing two men acting weirdly outside his property before one of them walks up to the doorbell and licks it.

Posting the video, Wehmeier wrote: "After reviewing last night's events on our doorbell, my wife came across this nonsense. Our doorbell got licked!

"If that wasn't bad enough anytime, we're going through a pandemic right now; people are trying to be mindful about not spreading a virus. It's gross nonsense like this that makes me lose faith in humanity

"Clean your doorbells, everyone; think of the guests and delivery companies that use it everyday. Just use common sense when protecting yourself and others, unlike these losers!"

Three days after the bizarre incident the man returned to Wehmeier's home to apologise, which was also caught on camera.

The man could be heard telling Wehmeier: "What I did the other night was absolutely uncalled for and I understand that and I apologise.

"I was kinda showing out and putting on a show for the camera. And that's not okay, I apologise for that."

Wehmeier responded: "I appreciate that. That's stand up of you."
