One joked, saying: "At least she checked that there wasn't anyone downstairs."

But others were more wary, calling her actions "killer littering" and urged for a police report to be made.

According to the National Environment Agency, there was a 77 per cent increase in the average high-rise littering cases from 2019 to 2021, compared with the previous two-year period.

Under the Environmental Public Health Act 1987, any individual who commits a littering offence may be fined up to $2,000 for a first conviction, $4,000 for a second conviction and $10,000 for the third and subsequent convictions.
