Chinese Woman Falls Through Collapsing Pavement (VIDEO)

WATCH: Woman Falls Straight Through Pavement

This isn't a bizarre stunt or a prank for a Chinese sketch show, the video above captures the moment a woman walking along a pavement in Xi'an, China, became trapped metres below the surface as the pavement she steps on collapses.

Fortunately, a passing-by taxi quickly stops and comes to her aid, before she is eventually rescued by the local fire brigade.

Despite falling quite a distance, the pedestrian appeared to be unharmed.

She was capable of climbing up a ladder and standing on her own feet without assistance.

Fortunately, in this case, the Chinese citizen emerged unscathed.
