A man has been sent for a mental health assessment after being identified by members of the public.
Footage captured by a witness on Sunday evening shows a man emptying a bucket of faeces over plaques at the Monument Hill memorial.
When confronted, the man admitted dumping excrement on the memorial.
"That's my poo," he told the witness.

The person took a photograph of the man, who appears to be carrying a guitar, and reported the incident to police.
