Heart-stopping moment a CHAIR is hurled out of an NYC high-rise along with other belongings

Video footage has captured the shocking moment chairs and other objects were hurled from the top of a Manhattan high-rise building in broad daylight.

The heart-stopping incident reportedly occurred on East 46th Street and 5th Avenue in midtown Manhattan on Tuesday.

An unnamed individual was seen throwing large patio furniture off the roof of a skyscraper in a now-viral clip.

Witnesses captured the maniac on camera as they threw a wooden chair over the edge, before it smashes into the scaffolding below as pedestrians scramble to safety.

Following the chair, the individual continued to throw what looked like planks of wood and what appeared to be a chunk of concrete. 

The objects were seen drifting through the sky, carried by the wind.  

The viral video, posted by Conor Strong via Storyful, circulated social media and left viewers in disbelief over the unhinged behavior they witnessed.

‘Bring back mental institutions. It’s everywhere. Every day,' one user commented on X.

'My ex would do stuff like this during a mood swing. Once because I bought new shoes for myself but didn't come home with anything for her. most of my stuff was quickly out the window,' another viewer wrote in an ambiguous  comment.

Many viewers expressed concern for the New Yorkers below, with one writing: 'Was he arrested? That could kill somebody below.'

The New York Police Department (NYPD) is currently investigating the incident and seeking to identify the individual responsible for the reckless behavior. 

Fortunately, no injuries have been reported.

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), more than 50,000 people are hit by falling debris in New York City every year. 

This includes not only construction site workers but also everyday individuals who are struck while standing or walking down the street.
