Thousands of people have been put at risk of having blocked toilets after a child's lawnmower toy was found dumped in the sewer.
Residents of the Boothferry estate in Hull, East Yorkshire, watched on as blockage crews spent three hours removing other items including wet wipes and sanitary towels from the drains.
Yorkshire Water also said the toy lawn mower caused a "significant blockage", with another crew taking four hours to hault it out and clear the backlog within the sewer.
