CLINGING for dear life, this is the shocking moment an alleged mistress nearly plunges to her death trying to hide from her lover’s wife.
Neighbours spotted the woman dangling from a 10th floor balcony as she appears to almost lose her grip.
The heart-stopping moment was captured in China, as onlookers watched on in horror at the woman attempting shimmy herself to a safer location.
A shirtless man can be seen talking to the woman through the window before he disappears from view.
Holding her phone, she then starts her descent to the floor below, climbing down drain pipes and windowsills.
The woman appears to slide down a water pipe to a neighbour’s window, when she bangs on for help.
Fortunately, the person inside opens up and helps the woman to safety.
Local reports claim a cheating husband panicked when his wife returned home early and pushed his mistress out onto the balcony to prevent her from being discovered.
The footage spread rapidly across Chinese social platforms, attracting widespread attention and prompting intense speculation about events inside.
Online commenters said the pair had been left “socially dead” after the video was shared repeatedly, with many predicting they would face considerable embarrassment.
Others warned that climbing outside a high-rise posed extreme danger and could easily have led to tragedy, especially given the narrow ledges and lack of protective barriers.
It comes after a 29-year-old man died after falling from a balcony at a popular holiday park.
Bartosz Urbaniak, 29, suffered trauma to the brain after he lost his footing at the Big Weekender event at Butlin’s, Skegness.
Witnesses claim the dad-of-one attempted to climb from one balcony to another before plunging to his death.
It’s understood he had been drinking at the time.
A trainee nurse who was also at the event rushed to give him CPR until the air ambulance arrived.
He was rushed to Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham but despite medics’ best efforts, tragically died two days later.
