A woman was given a fright by glass shattering as she walked through a doorway in southern China.

CCTV footage filmed in the city of Jiangmen in Guangdong Province on October 11 shows a glass door suddenly shattering next to a woman named Zhu when she was walking out of a shop.

According to reports, the woman's friend was the owner of the cosmetic shop.

Zhu said: "I did not touch the glass. It suddenly exploded and nearly fell over me. I was frightened by it."

Fortunately, Zhu was not injured. The incident may have been caused by the ageing of the glass.

Zhu's friend then spent more than 1,000 yuan (£123) to replace the glass with a new panel.

10月11日，广东江门，女子出门时玻璃门突然炸裂，一时被吓得不知所措。当事人朱女士表示，当时出门吃饭，刚靠近玻璃门就爆了。门是从中间开始裂的，她并没有碰到，所幸没有受伤，当时都被吓懵了。玻璃爆裂可能给时间长了老化有关，但当时自己确实没有碰到，后来花了1000多块已经把门换好。
