Shocking footage has emerged of a ‘family’ of rats rummaging for scraps in a food court at a popular shopping centre.
The massive rodents were spotted scampering through the Westfield in Parramatta, in western Sydney, by three shocked women on Friday.
Video taken by one of the women showed the empty food court had rubbish and food packaging from nearby restaurants strewn across tables.
‘There’s rats everywhere, all of those rats,’ she said in the video posted to TikTok.
A second said she’s ‘never eating there’ again because the sight was so ‘disgusting’.
‘We sit on those chairs and put our feet there, and that’s where they’re living in there,’ the third woman said.
A second video showed one of the rats appearing to have gotten its paws on a chicken bone before scampering away.
The rodent then jumped underneath a cushioned couch before disappearing.

The footage shocked social media users who were disgusted by the rodents growing so large and ‘thriving’ in the shopping centre.
‘I’m never eating there again, I feel sick,’ one user wrote.
‘That’s not a Rat, that’s a cat! Look how huge they are,’ a second commented.
‘I’m not a fussy person but that’s f***ing disgusting those rats are huge,’ a third wrote.
Other users said the three women would be shocked to see how many rats pop up around any source of food in Sydney.
‘Im going to hold your hand when i tell you this babe, rats are all over Sydney,’ one wrote.
‘There are rats wherever there is food or rubbish, shopping centres and restaurants are full of them,’ another said.
Footage of similarly-sized rats were filmed in the shopping centre in May 2022, and again in July 2021.
Daily Mail Australia contacted Westfield for comment.
