The terrifying moment a child was almost crushed by a chest of drawers was caught on CCTV

A young child was almost crushed by a drawers after it toppled over on him — and it was all caught on camera.

CCTV footage from Thailand captures the terrifying moment the large piece of furniture falls down in front of the boy.

Before the crash, the boy was seen playing with the drawers, opening and closing each one. He then opens all four of them simultaneously, leans on the second one from the top to pull himself back up, and that’s when the near-tragedy strikes.

He manages to fall back just far enough for the drawers not to hit him.

The boy doesn’t appear to have suffered any injuries and is checked by a woman within seconds of the accident.
