Drama as mortuary attendant flees after corpse wakes up on his first day at work

A video circulating on social media shows the moment the red top-wearing man and the senior mortician carried a corpse into the morgue.

The mortician then left the newcomer in the room and locked the door behind him. The new employee attempted to follow him but he realised the door was locked.

Then, suddenly, the fresh corpse they had just brought in began to make moves before waking up and walking towards him.

The dramatic video shows the fear-stricken newly recruited mortuary man screaming and begging the people outside to open the door for him but to no avail.

He banged on the metallic door several times with all the energy left in him but it did not open. Then he tried to take refuge behind some things inside the mortuary before other people began to emerge from all over the room.

He can be seen panting and gasping for breath as a microphone is put to him to express his first-time experience.
