A video has captured the moment a Ugandan man who was caught shoplifting smeared poop on himself to evade arrest.

Videos shared online shows the man, in an orange t-shirt, resisting as two men tried to restrain him in a store.

When it appeared they would succeed in arresting him, the man reached into his jeans and pooped into his hand then he smeared it on his face.

This worked as the men holding him immediately left him and ran off, allowing him to escape.
