This is the incredible moment a Saudi man cheated death when a falling window pane fell from a high rise building and smashed on the pavement just inches ahead of him.
CCTV footage captured the man walking along a busy street in an unnamed Saudi city when he stopped momentarily to check if he had something stuck to the bottom of his shoe.
Although he didn’t know it at the time, the momentary pause actually saved him from being crushed to death, as just seconds later a huge pane of glass plummeted to earth, clipping him rather than smashing straight on top of him.
