Shocking doorbell footage shows the moment an Uber Eats delivery driver appears to urinate in the stairwell of a Los Angeles area apartment building.
The incident happened Saturday evening in the upscale neighborhood of Beverly Hills, located northwest of downtown LA.
In the video, the unidentified delivery driver drops a bag of food at one door before traveling down the stairs and moving into the corner as he looks around.
The man checks his surroundings before stopping in an off-camera area as the purported sound of urination is heard through the doorbell camera footage.
The video is cut off as the oblivious customer who ordered the food is seen grabbing his order and the delivery driver walks out of the corner and moves down the stairs.

The video was taken inside an apartment complex at the intersection of North Oakhurst Drive and Civic Center Drive, right off Santa Monica Boulevard.
The man – who is seen wearing a red hooded sweatshirt, beige baseball cap, and black shorts – checks his phone after making the drop and begins to walk away.
Just before landing on the stoop, the delivery driver looks down the next set of stairs and looks back up to see if anyone is around.
He then creeps into the corner of the stoop and appears to urinate for several seconds until the man who ordered the food opens his door and grabs the package.
Spooked by the sound, the driver takes off down the second flight of stairs as the nearly 30 second video comes to an end.
In a statement, Uber confirmed they are investigating the shocking video.

The shocking footage comes just weeks after DailyMail.com reported that delivery drivers for Amazon are suing, saying they were forced to urinate in bottles and defecate in dog waste bags to keep up with delivery pace.
Three drivers, including an Iraq war veteran, filed a class action lawsuit in Colorado in May, accusing Amazon of subjecting employees to ‘inhumane’ conditions.
The plaintiffs claim they went through the extreme measures to make sure they didn’t face disciplinary action for falling behind pace on their deliveries.
Moreover, ‘delivery workers often restrained themselves of using the restroom at risk of serious health consequences,’ according to the 16-page document.
‘Amazon operates this scheme through harsh work quotas and elaborate tracking and workplace surveillance technology that make it impossible for Amazon delivery drivers to fulfill basic human needs while on the job,’ the suit reads.
The lawsuit accuses the company of violating Colorado state law, which requires employers to provide workers with paid breaks every four hours.
