It's claimed the man said stomping the rat to death would be "too cruel", and so he decided to hang it from the trap off the balcony instead.

The unnamed man, from Foshan in Guangdong province said that he felt annoyed when he saw the rat crawling around his house with the food on July 22,

In a desperate bid for freedom, the rat twitched and twisted to break loose from the trap which was held in place by a weight on the balcony ledge, the clip showed.

The man gloated: "Just leave it there, the glazing sun will kill it."

When asked if he was too cruel, the man said: "It's fine as long as I didn't see it dying."

It's unclear if the rat lived or died.
