“Ratatouille, Parramatta Westfield edition,” wrote the shopper who posted the video.
Reddit users were stunned by the footage – and by the size of the rat in question.
“That thing is f***ing ‘UUUGEE,” wrote one.
Said another: “Used to work in the centre sometimes past midnight. There were often whole packs of rats, some which were the size of small cats or dogs.
“Their screeching was terrifying at night to hear.”
Wrote a third: “OK, everybody tuck your pants into your socks!”
Added one more: “You can find them pretty much everywhere in cities. Lots of hiding places available, plenty of food, not many predators except maybe your neighbour’s cat.
“Although I don’t think a cat could take down a rat of that size. You’ll need a terrier or a brown snake.”
