WATER is shooting from a pavement in Worcester after a water main bursts underneath a lamppost. 

Diglis footpath, next to New Road Cricket Ground, is filling with water after it was seen gushing from the ground. 

A video shows a lamppost outside Worcester's Premier Inn being cordoned off with purple barriers and gushes of water coming from cracks in the pavement. 

Puddles have begun to form at the bottom of the bridge.

The incident was first spotted by an eyewitness at 6pm yesterday (Monday) evening and water is still gushing from the ground this morning.
