Distressed passers-by have sent in a worrying video of a scaffolding at risk of toppling towards the Balluta area in Sliema.
A worker, seemingly unstrapped and without safety equipment, is seen in the video attempting to grab hold of the scaffolding with a rope as heavy winds threatened to collapse the scaffolding.
Police were on site to close off the area as tourists watched behind police lines.
