• A video appearing to show a tourist defecating on a sleeping man in Mallorca is going viral.
• The clip has sparked outrage on the island, according to local Spanish outlets.

The Spanish island of Mallorca is reeling from a video that appears to show a tourist defecating on a sleeping man in Playa de Palma, according to local news outlets.

Spanish newspaper Marca reported that photos and videos of the incident were going viral. They appear to show a tourist walking along a beach boardwalk and coming across a man sleeping. The person then proceeds to pull down his pants before defecating multiple times on the sleeping man's face.

The entire encounter appears to have happened in broad daylight, although it's unclear exactly when the incident took place.

A screen recording of the clip, which appears to have been shot using Snapchat and was captioned in Dutch, was shared on Twitter by @Wall Street Wolverine on Thursday. It has already received over 2.6 million views.

According to media outlet Olive Press, a representative of Arenal, a village next to Playa de Palma, criticized the tourist's action in an interview with Balearic islands newspaper Ultima Hora.

"This is the famous Dutch tourism, which usually arrives from August 1 to 31," Alain Carbonell said. "This is happening within the urban area of Arenal. They've gone out of control: heavily intoxicated, drugged, and filled with brutal aggression."

It's far from the first time this summer that tourists have made headlines for the wrong reasons.

In Italy, there have been multiple reports of people being caught defacing Rome's Colosseum, an ancient amphitheater that has stood for 2,000 years and that attracts over six million visitors annually.

And in the US, tourists visiting national parks have received viral attention for things like sticking their hands in hot springs, suffering the consequences of getting up close and personal with bison, and touring Death Valley amid a blistering heat wave despite repeated warnings from officials.
