Large pieces of broken tiles were also seen under a sheltered walkway nearby.
A TikTok user shared another image of the incident, showing the woman’s arm poking out from under the roof of the sheltered walkway.
This led to speculation that she could have fallen onto the sheltered walkway, punching a hole in its roof.
