A married father-of-one is lucky to be alive after a concrete slab fell out of the sky and missed him by just inches.
Shop owner Aleksey Skers was walking along the pavement when he is spotted on CCTV suddenly looking up.
He makes a quick dash forward before seconds later a large piece of concrete slams into the floor, breaking into pieces.
It is not known what made the 26-year-old look up, but it is thought he heard something unusual that caught his attention.

Mr Skers owns five shops around the city of Vitebsk that sell pushchairs in Belarus.
He was walking out of a nearby shopping centre after visiting one of his shops when the slab nearly hit him.
Local media blamed high winds for the accident.
Last month another man had a narrow escape after he was almost chopped in half when he was trapped in a lift.

Man narrowly avoids being chopped in half by lift as the device shoots upwards leaving him trapped upside down
The worker was installing a lift in a residential tower when an operational error caused the lift car to shoot upwards, lodging his body between the narrow gap.
With blood pouring from him, the man was left hanging upside down from the narrow lift doors, his legs and torso trapped between the car and the lift shaft.
