This is the bizarre moment a giant fish was spotted thrashing through a flooded residential street.

China has been experiencing heavy and widespread rainfall since the start of the rainy season, which runs from May to September.

But in Chaozhou, heavy rain washed up more than water to residents' front doors.

On July 26, a large fish was spotted thrashing about in murky water on a residential street.

A local, who didn't wish to be named, captured the fish swimming past parked vehicles.
