Sheffield city centre was flooded this morning after a burst water main sent gallons of water cascading into the air.
A construction worker accidentally pierced the pipe on Fargate to cause the accidental shower of water.
Video footage shared on social media showed rapid water flow heading down the street with locals carefully trying to navigate around the stream to avoid getting wet.
Posted on X, formerly Twitter, the video caption read: "Someone is having a bad day."

Early reports have also suggested that some local premises are now without toilet facilities.
The nearby Boots store has been forced to close as a result, advising customers it can offer only prescriptions.
The Benjamin Huntsman pub in the area has also been forced to close. In the window, the pub displayed a sign reading "pub is shut due to no running water".
Reacting to the burst pipe on social media, one X user said: "The Sheffield city centre is an embarrassing eyesore and has been for years."
