A young girl was happily bouncing along outside a row of shops when a flowerpot suddenly plummeted from above, narrowly missing her by less than half a meter. Startled and frightened, the girl quickly sought refuge in the arms of nearby adults who rushed to her aid upon hearing her crying. The shop owner downstairs immediately alerted the authorities, and the police have since arrived to collect evidence and conduct an investigation. The video was filmed on May 16 in Guangzhou, southern China and provided with local media’s permission.
