Homes were flooded with filthy water after a main burst, spewing sewage down a main road in London.
A series of pictures and videos were posted on Twitter showing the murky deluge flowing down Clapham Road in Kennington, south London.
There were initial reports that a sewage pipe had sprung a leak, causing a torrent of excrement to cascade down the road.
A police officer on the scene in south London told people that it was “sewage”. “It's stinky. It's gone into people's basements,” he said, according to ITV News.
