Police are hunting a woman who was pictured urinating on a busy high street in front of horrified shoppers.
Carrying two shopping bags in tow, the woman relieved herself in front of dozens of onlookers in Northampton on Thursday.
Witness Kevin Mabbutt took the picture before posting it on Facebook.
He said: “I just couldn’t believe it. I can’t understand how anyone could do something so horrible.
“I just had to get my smartphone out and snap a photo.”
The photo has been shared widely on social media with many expressing disgust.
Police said they are still trying to identify the woman.
A police spokesperson said: “We received a call from a member of the public who was offended by a woman urinating in Abington Street, Northampton on Thursday and are working to identify her.
