Sewer explodes into man's face

An underground sewer has exploded into a man's face after he threw hsi cigarette butt into a drain.

A male, who remains unknown, was mortified after he discarded his cigarette butt down the drain only for it to backfire and catapult a large amount of waste in his direction with such a force he was thrown to the ground and had to crawl on his hands and knees to escape further misfortune.

Footage of the unfortunate moment, which is believed to have taken place in Iran, has been captured on CCTV camera, and has been obtained by the Mirror Online.

The clip sees one man pour what resembles rubble into the hole, before another male peers into the crevice and throws his own waste into the area.

However, once the second person chucked his rubbish away the pavement erupts and out bursts the contents of the hole.
