A Frightening Scene at the Lift

The now-viral video captures the young girl standing at the entrance of a residential building’s lift with another child beside her. As she partially blocks the doorway, a second child runs toward the elevator from the corridor. Amid the confusion, another child remains inside the lift. 

What begins as a routine moment quickly spirals into danger when the elevator doors suddenly start sliding shut with two children still inside. Panic could have taken over. But instead of stepping aside, the little girl does something remarkable.

The horrific incident was captured on the CCTV installed inside the lift.
