A Kuwaiti woman was put behind bars after she was caught filming her domestic help falling from a seventh-floor balcony as she tried to flee from her apartment.
The Ethiopian maid is seen screaming and crying for help in the disturbing footage as she slowly loses her grip after hanging on with one hand to a window frame and falls down on to a metal awning seven stories below. The footage posted online by the woman filming the whole incident shows the endangered woman shouting "hold me, hold me," before her fall.
