A terrifying video was recorded last night, as a devastating storm was raging through Belgrade. The incident unfolded in Marsala Tolbuhina Boulevard in New Belgrade, and the footage shows a man narrowly escaping serious injury.

The horrifying moment when a tree fell onto the sidewalk happened just a few seconds after the man walked past it, fleeing from the storm.

As the video from a surveillance camera shows, last night the Belgrader in question was on his phone while walking past a residential building in New Belgrade. As he was passing by the tree he luckily ran, and mere seconds later, the tree crashed down.

It's scary to even think about what would have happened if the man had not quickened his pace and avoided the consequences, which would have surely be fatal for him.

Comments on the video posted on Instagram quickly started to pour in, some of them jokingly suggesting, "He should play the lotto tomorrow," "Buddy, celebrate this as a second birthday"...
