The mystery man was first captured on CCTV going to the toilet on Lamont Road Passage in Chelsea at 7.40am last Thursday, November 5. Shown wearing a yellow high-vis top and shorts and carrying a green rucksack on his back, the man was caught relieving himself on a wall at the side of a hairdresser’s. The jogger is then seen setting his running watch as he quickly dashes off. He returned to the spot again at 7.38am today, this time wearing a grey top and red shorts. Jonny Lockonego, the owner of the hair salon, which counts Victoria Beckham and Pippa Middleton among its clients, said the behaviour was ‘absolutely disgusting and completely unacceptable’.

The salon owner added: ‘It beggars belief. I want to find the despicable human.’ A concerned parent who passes the spot every day with her children said it was ‘neither the first nor the second time it happened’ and is an ‘ongoing issue’. Comedian Rory Bremner commented: ‘Unbelievable. Hope you catch him.’ ‘OMG, what is wrong with people?’ wrote Edo Mapelli Mozzi, Princess Beatrice’s husband.
