Surveillance video shows the traditionally dressed man walking at a leisurely pace when the huge piece of glass comes crashing down, knocking him down and narrowly missing his head, tossing his head garments - "a checkered keffiyeh and a black agal," according to a description of the video posted on YouTube.

The glass shatters, the man collects himself and walks away from the scene, then returns when he is beckoned by two men who emerge from a door next to the spot where the glass fell.
