THIS is the jawdropping moment an unsuspecting pedestrian cheats death by mere inches as a concrete balcony collapses above her.
Chilling footage shows the woman next to her shopping bag while on the phone – just moments before heaps of rubble fall from the skies.
In the extraordinary clip recorded in Greece the woman is seen standing on a street corner wearing a pink coat with her groceries on the floor.
Just seconds later she makes a quick dash as she realises what is about to happen.
The quick-thinking woman even makes time to grab her shopping from off the floor during her heartstopping escape.
As she runs off into the road from the pavement, an entire balcony falls from above.
Concrete blocks and metal piping pummel the street where the woman was stood just seconds before.
On the way down, the devastating debris hit a nearby parked car, destroying its left hand side.
A group of fellow pedestrians start to crowds around the wreckage, making sure no one was caught in the chaos.
The woman who managed to survive the harrowing ordeal then squats down – seemingly in awe of the fact she was metres away from catastrophe.
The jawdropping footage was recorded in Lavrio on Tuesday, with at least three cars reportedly damaged by the collapse.
Fortunately, no deaths or casualties were reported following the dramatic ordeal.
The building is home to pharmacy and sits at the intersection of Fok. Negri and Agias Paraskevi street.
Shortly after the rubble fell, police and fie services rushed to the scene.
Shocking images showed the aftermath of the crumbling – with several cars squashed by chunks of the building and firefighters assessing the damage.
The woman reportedly suffered abrasions from the debris but was not seriously injured.
