It's incredibly sad to hear about this sort of treatment of someone forced to sleep rough but this is not an isolated incident and is something we seem to be seeing more and more of in recent months, said Balbir Kaur Chatrik, of the homelessness charity Centrepoint.
The footage showed a security guard using a mop bucket to soak the ground where the man had been sitting with his sleeping bag outside a Nationwide bank branch, next to a McDonald's, in the Victoria area of central London.
Matt Downie, the CEO of Crisis, said it was appalling to see people mistreated like that. A spokesperson for St Mungo's, which does outreach work in the area, said: Not only is this an upsetting video to view, this is sadly also not a unique experience for many experiencing rough sleeping.
