Ukrainian grandmother Angela Artyomova clasps an air-conditioning unit outside her flat for dear life as she waits for help to arrive.

The 97-year-old was left hanging 35ft above street level, suspended from the fourth floor, after she toppled while cleaning windows.

The spritely pensioner managed to grab hold of an air conditioning unit at her flat in the city of Rivne after the fall, and then get her foot wedged in the bracket holding it in place.

Her terrified calls for help were enough to alert passers by who called firefighters, and she was still hanging on by the time firefighters arrived and rushed to get a ladder underneath her to help her back inside.

Fire brigade officials said they had realised the situation was desperate when they arrived and had no time to set up an air cushion.

They used a ladder to speedily get to the OAP - who had been hanging for at least 30 minutes before she was helped back inside.

The grandmother was taken to hospital suffering from shock.
