Shopper lifted 6ft into the air after jacket caught on opening shutters
An elderly lady was left dangling upside down after her coat got caught in the security shutters outside a convenience store.
She was seen standing outside the Best One shop waiting for it to open.
But as the electric metal shutters were opened the back of her black jacket got snagged in it.
The horror moment was captured on the store’s CCTV camera.
The pensioner lady didn’t let go of her shopping trolley bag.
She was marooned hanging for an agonising 12 seconds before a shop worker dashed out to her rescue.
He grabbed hold of her body and lowered her to the ground and appeared shaken, but unharmed.
The mishap happened outside the Best One shop in Tonteg, near Cardiff, South Wales yesterday (4 Mar) at 7:53am.

Old people who stand outside the shop banging on the doors even though it's still 5 minutes until opening are the worst customers.
