A mailman in the US has been suspended after he was caught defecating in a yard on camera.

Don Derfler, who lives in the Oregon neighbourhood where the act took place, was outraged when he saw the man foul on a nearby property and took photographs for evidence.

He said: "He started pulling his pants down and started defecating, and at that point I grabbed my camera and started to take pictures.

"This is how they respect our property? It's just not right, and it's also a biohazard."

A spokesman for the US Postal Service said: "We're taking this very seriously, and I really want to apologise to our customers and to the public."
