Floral tributes have been paid to a young woman who tripped over a wall and died while singing and dancing with her friend.
Arina Glazunova’s final moments were captured by her friend in a hard-to-watch clip filmed in Tbilisi, Georgia, on September 27.
The footage, widely shared on social media, shows the 24-year-old from Moscow strutting down a sidewalk singing Russian band Hunger Boys’ hit ‘For The Last Time’.
Arina can be seen looking at her friend’s phone without looking at where she is going. As she continues singing, the camera returns to her friend, who watches in horror as Arina disappears headlong over the edge of a wall into an underground passage.
Her panicked screams can be heard briefly in the clip before it fades to black.
The 24-year-old woman died while out on a night out with a friend after missing a step and falling through the entrance to a tube station.
Arina was rushed to hospital where she sadly died from head injuries and a broken neck.
Floral tributes have since appeared at the site of the tragedy, in Tbilisi’s Republic Square, alongside a sign written in English stating that the height of the wall meets building regulations.
