Shocking CCTV footage revealed an alleged beer worker urinating into a tank in eastern China.

The video was filmed in the city of Qingdao in Shandong Province on October 19.

A man was seen sneaking into a storage room, taking a quick look around, and then standing atop the stored materials to urinate.

By the evening of October 20, the scandal had grown so significant that officials from Tsingtao Beer were compelled to address the unsettling footage circulating online. They promptly assured the public that the entire batch of malt in question had been sealed off and is currently under police investigation.

Adding a twist to the tale, an insider with knowledge of the situation shared a preliminary finding. Contrary to the viral rumours, the man caught in the act and the one filming the video were both external contractors, not direct employees of Tsingtao Beer.

The location where this disgraceful act took place wasn't the brewery's primary storage but appears to be a vehicle compartment of a logistics carrier responsible for transporting ingredients.

The insider also added that the brewery, being a food enterprise, is equipped with numerous surveillance cameras. There's even a restroom very near to the incident site, making the man's act all the more baffling.

Both the individual filming the footage and the man seen urinating have since been taken into custody by the Pingdu City Police Department.

The video was provided by local media with permission.

10月19日，山东青岛平度市，有人拍到在青岛啤酒三厂内，一名工人竟然在原料仓小便。现场视频显示，在一处厂房内，一名男子爬进一处存放原料的仓库内，四处张望后，站在原料上开始小便。
0月20日晚，青岛啤酒官方对此前网上针对青岛啤酒三厂的相关视频进行回应，称该批麦芽已全部封存，警方正在调查中。
另据一名知情人透露，根据初步调查结果，视频中人员和视频拍摄者均是外用工，该视频拍摄场地并非网上谣传的青岛啤酒原料仓库，应为某物流承运商的运输原料的车辆车厢；网传涉事人员也非青岛啤酒的员工，为外包劳务合作公司的装卸工，但视频拍摄动机尚不清楚。该知情者还介绍，作为食品企业，厂区内有很多摄像头，事发地很近的地方也有卫生间，男子这种行为很难理解，视频拍摄者与疑似小便的相关人员已被平度市公安局控制了。
