This is the dramatic moment a woman clings for dear life as she hangs from the ledge of a high-rise apartment block after slipping while cleaning the windows.
The incident took place on Tuesday in Guarujá, a coastal city near Sao Paulo, Brazil, and reports say the cleaner was hanging from the window sill for five minutes.
The tense footage, filmed by a man in another building across the street, shows the woman holding on to her fingertips as she hangs from the 16th floor of the building.
Horrified onlookers can be heard screaming in the street below before the men finally take her back inside the building, only saved because her feet were resting on the window below.
