This is the amusing moment an excited toddler knocked over an ornate display during a family portrait photoshoot.

Razzaq Mikael, the four-year-old boy, sprinted toward the backdrop while waiting for his turn at the shoot in Selangor, Malaysia.

Footage shows the wooden set falling over after he leaned on it.

Upon seeing what happened, his mother screamed in alarm as his father rushed forward to attempt to catch the collapsing prop on April 13.

His mother said: 'We had initially planned to take a behind-the-scenes video, but unexpectedly, Razzaq ran toward one of the props and caused it to fall.

'After what happened, we gently advised him, and the photographer and studio team were very understanding throughout the entire session.'
