In the footage taken on April 30, the man is seen walking up and down the South West London street wearing a helmet and talking on the phone.

He then licks his hands and wipes his spit on the railings and lamppost in front of him, showing disregard for the social distancing rules currently in place.

The delivery driver also touched cars that were parks on the side of the road as it appeared he was waiting for his next order to come through.

Linda, the resident who filmed the disgusting act, said: “The delivery drivers congregate on this road waiting to take the orders, but they aren’t practicing social distancing! And then we see them do this.

“It’s disgusting, touching our railings and our cars after licking his hands, especially in the middle of a pandemic! We have reported them to the police.”

The police told Linda they will not be taking the matter any further because they believe the driver was acting maliciously.

Takeaway delivers have remained popular in the UK as Brits can still order from their favourite restaurants.

However, the government does advise for people to minimise the amount of social contact they have outside their household as much as possible.
