A billboard blown by strong wind knocked down three women walking on the street.

The incident happened in the Chinese prefecture-level city of Anshan in central-southeast Liaoning province on June 1.

CCTV Footage shows the billboard attached to a building's outer wall falling on the street, nearly hitting a passer-by.

A minute later, the three women rushed on the street as the wind lifted the billboard towards their direction, knocking them all down.

Residents rushed to help the women as one of them, who was not covered by the billboard, managed to stand up.

They lifted the billboard and one of them held her head while the other one, wearing a white dress, was assisted.

The three women did not suffer serious injuries after they were reportedly sent to hospital for treatment.

The person in charge of the building and the billboard reportedly was at the scene to deal with the matter.
