A person has been seen towing a boat behind an electric mobility scooter through a seaside town.
The unusual incident was captured by Nigel Swinburne, a plasterer from Hartlepool, who could not believe his eyes as the person drove past him.
The scooter has a trailer attached to the back of it and a boat on top of the trailer.
Mr Swinburne, who was working on the outside of a house on Sheriff Street at the time, said: “I thought there’s a boat coming towards me and then ‘oh it’s being towed by a mobility scooter’.
“Obviously I was a bit shocked, that’s why I only got the picture when it had passed me. The person didn’t seem that old.”
Other pictures of the strange event have also appeared on Facebook, as well as a video of the person towing the trailer without the boat in it.
