Man attempts to get rid of 'ocean' flood in London - using a sweeping brush

As huge flash floods drown London, one guy in King's Cross has taken matters into his own hands, armed with a sweeping brush.

The man can be seen almost knee-deep in water, attempting (and failing) to push the flood out of the road, as cars continue to drive through.

'Bros sweeping the ocean lmao', one Twitter user wrote, while another pointed out that he was actually helping sweep debris away from the drain, which would help clear the water quicker.
