A viral video has emerged of a woman in China being knocked down by a suitcase that tumbled down an escalator behind her – and people on social media are being brutal about the incident.
The footage, taken in China's eastern Zhejiang province, shows how a couple at the topof the escalator are loading their suitcases onto the steps. But one moves away from them and begins to fall.
Meanwhile, the woman in the white shirt is oblivious to the danger behind her at first.
The woman at first is unaware of the danger behind her. But when she realises, she tries to outrun the suitcase.

Eventually, though, she turns around to see what is happening. She then starts to run down the escalator stairs, trying to outpace the falling luggage as it hurtles down behind her.
But while the original tweet featuring the video is concerned for the injured woman, some social media users have made light of the footage in some pretty brutal ways.
And others still called out the couple at the top of the escalator for loading the suitcase onto the escalator in the first place.
I’m very annoyed with the lady who put her suitcase on the escalator like that… The hell did she think was gonna happen? No common sense smh. https://t.co/DhNONNITyU
