This is definitely a datura. Every plant in this family are highly toxic. Consuming as little as a single leaf can cause death in many varieties. All parts, including the blooms are poisonous. As long as there are no children or animals around, then the plant poses no risk on its own.
If there is any risk of poisoning, then it will be best to keep this out of reach, or out of the area completely.

Many thanks for prompt response. Should I wear gloves when handling it?
