This is the dramatic moment a woman clings on for her life while dangling from a ledge of a high rise apartment block after she slipped while cleaning the windows.
The incident took place in Guaruja, a coastal town near Sao Paulo, Brazil, on Tuesday, with reports saying that the cleaner was hanging from the windowsill for five minutes.
The tense footage, filmed by a man in another building across the street, shows the woman holding on by her fingertips as she hangs from the 16th floor of the building.
Horrified onlookers can be heard shouting out in the street below before she is finally pulled back inside the building by the men, only saved because her feet were resting on the window below.
In the video, the cleaner can be seen trying to reach the windowsill to pull herself back in but cannot.
The man filming can be heard counting the floors before saying the firefighters should be called.
But luckily, a few minutes later, three men appeared in the window and pulled the woman back inside as people down the street below clapped.
Local media reports said that the woman had slipped while cleaning windows in the apartment.
She was reportedly left dangling and screaming for help for about five minutes in total before neighbours managed to break into the flat.
It is currently unclear whether the police are investigating the incident.
