THIS is the terrifying moment that a couple having a row crashed through the railings of their second floor balcony onto the pavement below.
The horrific incident was caught on camera by someone passing by when the dispute broke out.
Olga Volkova and Yevgeny Karlagin, both 35, were rushed to hospital and were undergoing surgery after sustaining "serious" but not life-threatening injuries.
They were seen having an angry dispute on the balcony of their home at around 10am on Saturday, said people at the scene in St Petersburg, Russia.
In the video part of the railings come away as the couple appeared to lean on them, sending them falling 25ft to the ground.
Eyewitness Denis told Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper: “I was walking with my colleague and filming the historic street view.
“I noticed the row and began to shoot when this happened.
“Someone with medical experience was nearby, and checked their pulses, saying they had both survived. We called an ambulance."
The man was fully clothed when he fell, and the woman was in underwear with a cover wrapped around her.
The couple, who have a young son together, reportedly had suffered from broken limbs but did not have life threatening injuries.
Local reports said both were lucky enough to just suffer from broken bones, and survived the incident.
The St Petersburg state prosecutor’s office is checking whether the balcony was in poor repair, which could lead to prosecution.
