It’s “ratatouille” – on a whole new level. 

A man was recently seen casually eating pieces of a dead rat on a Bronx street, according to stomach-churning video posted to social media. 

The 1-minute, 15-second Instagram clip shows the man dissecting the rodent on a stoop on 149th Street and Third Avenue in Mott Haven.

The man is seen pulling a piece from from the rat’s remains and popping the niblet into his mouth — like a chicken nugget.

“I gotta get out The Bronx … this is crazy,” a woman’s voice can be heard saying in the background of the video, which has amassed over 55,000 views since the March 1 joint post by the accounts @newyorks–t and @newyorkchitty.

A few seconds later, the man lifts the rat to his lips and uses his teeth to tear at it — like a pork chop.

“No, no no – what the f-ck? He is wilding!” a male’s voice can be overhead in the video.


  At one point, the video shows the man lift the rat up to his lips and use his teeth to tear a long white string from its body.  Instagram/newyorksh*t At one point, the video shows the man lift the rat up to his lips and use his teeth to tear a long white string from its body.  Instagram/newyorksh*t

“Thanks Biden,” one Instagrammer quipped in the comment section. 

“USA, the envy of the world,” another said. 

“Here comes another new virus,” one user wrote.
