Heart-stopping moment window falls from fifth floor of building hitting mum and baby in pram below

CCTV captured the heart-stopping moment a window fell from the fifth floor of a building and hit a mother and baby in a pram.

The woman is seen waiting on the pavement with her infant in a pushchair in front of her.

Out of nowhere, the window pane drops straight on top of them, hitting the mum on the head and knocking her to the floor.

The glass also hits the baby before smashing on the ground.The shocking incident happened near the Old Dmitrowkiy Motorway, in the Russian capital Moscow.

The woman, dressed in a bright pink jacket, stands on the pavement appearing to be waiting for someone.

Suddenly, the window in its white frame tumbles down on top of her.

The woman managed to stand up a few seconds later, and is seen crawling to her feet on the CCTV footage.

She walks back towards the pram to check on her baby.

Luckily the child was reportedly unjured in the accident.

It is not known what injuries, if any, the woman suffered in the incident.

According to reports, the child was protected from harm by the frame of the pram.

The clip was uploaded online where social media users expressed their amazement at the woman’s swift recovery.

‘Aleva V.’ said: "Knowing the weight of a window, I still don’t get how she managed to get up..."

It is unclear what caused the window to fall on the woman and her baby's pram but viewers speculated it could have been the result of a shoddy fitting job by builders.

‘Mikhail Moroz’ said: "Yeah like everybody knows how to do it, so they all try make some money. They injure people with their so-called skills and take three times more than they should."
