A statement from the man provided by his lawyer calls his own actions "inexcusable."
"I am horrified at my own actions which are reprehensible and inexcusable," the statement reads.
"I am employed, have never had any issues with law enforcement and am otherwise a good, law-abiding citizen. I can't explain my own actions in this situation."
The man says he does not have coronavirus symptoms, and that he will be making a donation to the building that will cover the sanitation costs.
The man will not face criminal charges, Hui said, stating that police informed her that there was nothing illegal with what he had done.
