Walking down a New York street, most people don’t expect to be injured by something as unexpected as a falling fence. That’s what happened recently, when a woman was caught on camera walking down a busy street in Brooklyn as a fence suddenly collapsed, landing on top of her and pinning her to the ground. The viral video is currently making the rounds online right now.
The incident allegedly occurred at approximately 8:22pm last Friday, on the 10th of April, and was originally shared by New York-based director Kyle Loftus on his TikTok account where he put out a plea to attempt to locate the woman who has struck by the fence. In the video, you can see an unidentified man moving the metal fence, which is apparently a part of a movie scene that was being filmed. However, the fence is left unsecured, causing it to topple and land on a woman walking down the street.
Fortunately, several bystanders rush to help, lifting the fence to free her as she remains pinned to the pavement. She can be seen moving on the ground, likely in pain from the incident. It is unclear what injuries she may have sustained, and whether she was part of the film production or a bystander. Loftus posted an update to his Instagram account yesterday, indicating he is still trying to locate the woman seen in the video.
