Olga Volkova and Yevgeny Karlagin, both 35, were rushed to hospital and were undergoing surgery after sustaining "serious" but not life-threatening injuries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

In the video part of the railings come away as the couple appeared to lean on them, sending them falling 25ft to the ground.<\/p>\n

Eyewitness Denis told Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper: \u201cI was walking with my colleague and\u00a0 filming the historic street view.<\/p>\n

\u201cI noticed the row and\u00a0 began to shoot when this happened.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSomeone with medical experience was nearby, and checked their pulses, saying they had both survived.\u00a0 We called an ambulance."\u00a0<\/p>\n

The man was fully clothed when he fell, and the woman was in underwear with a cover wrapped around her.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The couple, who have a young son together, reportedly had suffered from broken limbs but did not have life threatening injuries.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Local reports said both were lucky enough to just suffer from broken bones, and survived the incident.<\/p>\n

The St Petersburg state prosecutor\u2019s office is checking whether the balcony was in poor repair, which could lead to prosecution.<\/p>\n
