Bikers and pedestrians found themselves covered in human waste when a sewage pipe exploded next to a busy road in China this week.

Footage shows a fountain of faeces shooting 10 metres (33ft) into the air before raining down on commuters.

The horrifying incident happened when newly installed sewage pipes in Nanning, a city in southern China, suddenly ruptured.

The blast was so powerful that a digger on the construction site flipped over and vehicles were damaged.

Within seconds, those in the vicinity were covered in the disgusting brown waste.

Dashcam footage shows one car’s windscreen completely covered as the wipers work helplessly to clear it.

“I’m drenched in poo,” one driver reportedly complained. “My car is splattered yellow. It’s ruined.”
