He had reportedly fled from doctors at the extremely overstretched Elwa hospital in Liberia, hungry and afraid.

Wearing a red shirt and marked with a tag telling people he has tested positive for the incurable and deadly disease, the patient was eventually surrounded by health workers wearing hazmat suits.

After a few minutes of discussion with the medical workers, the man - who appears strong and healthy, despite the virus - attempts to escape once again.

The health officials are then forced to get physical with the man, picking him up bodily and bundling him into a waiting ambulance.

A local woman later accused the government of causing the problem.

She said: "The patients are hungry, they are starving. No food, no water. The government need to do more."

Approximately 700 people have died of Ebola in Liberia.
