Woman in India suddenly hugged & falls

The incident occurred at about 2.40pm local time on Tuesday (16 July), according to a timestamp on CCTV footage of the incident posted on X.

In the clip, a woman in a blue top is seen sitting on the edge of a parapet, chatting with someone who’s off-camera.

That person then suddenly gives her a bear hug, causing both of them to lean backwards.

The woman then tumbles head-over-heels off the edge and falls down the building’s airwell.

The man who hugged her almost falls, but manages to hold on to the parapet in time.
