A video posted to Facebook shows a man licking a rail in a New Westminster park.

The video was posted by Kayla Miller, who said she shot footage of the man at Westminster Pier Park on Thursday.

“The first time I have been outside in over a month besides running to the grocery store,” Miller said. “This man was intentionally spitting everywhere … I am mortified.”

A similar video sparked outrage in Vancouver as a man was seen spitting on button in an elevator.

The man caught on video surveillance spitting on elevator buttons in the Meccanica condominium building at Quebec Street and East 1st Avenue issued an apology on April 12 through his lawyer, Richard Fowler. 

Fowler declined to name his client but issued a statement from him saying that the man is "horrified at my own actions, which are reprehensible and inexcusable."
