A man was filmed allegedly trying to have sex with a drain cover.

Baffled onlookers saw Florin Grosu, 33, lying face down in the road in Romford, East London.

He was caught on camera thrusting his hips while looking around sheepishly at 11am.

The one-minute video, handed to The Sun by a passenger in a passing car, ends with sirens blaring as police arrive to arrest him.

Grosu was charged with public indecency and bailed to appear at Barkingside Magistrates' Court yesterday.

But he didn't turn up to the hearing and police issued a warrant for his arrest.
