Horrified commuters grabbed their mobile phones and filmed the encroaching muck as it spread across the floor and cut off access to some of the shops situated along the route.

According to one witness the substance "smelled terrible, like sewage" and had seemingly emerged from a doorway which had burst open due to the pressure of the liquid building up behind it.

Authorities are now conducting an investigation in an effort to determine what happened.
