Student Escapes Muggers with Daring Parkour Bridge Jump

A young woman in Bogotá, Colombia, managed to outmaneuver a pair of knife-wielding muggers using her parkour skills, making a daring escape that was caught on CCTV.

The footage captures the intense moment when Noelia Galindo, a university student, was confronted by two men on a footbridge at night.

As they moved toward her, she instinctively grabbed the handrail and executed a flawless somersault over the side of the bridge, landing on her feet before sprinting away.

One of the assailants attempted to jump after her but failed to keep up.

According to reports from vknews24, Noelia explained in a video that she had just crossed the bridge when she noticed the two men, describing them as tall and bulky. Initially, she thought one was asking the other for change, but as they turned toward her, she realized she was in danger.

“I felt scared, terrified—so many things at once. I could tell they were getting closer,” she recounted.

“One of them told me to hand over everything I had and pulled out a knife.

My immediate reaction was to grab the railing and jump off the bridge.”

Her quick thinking resulted in only minor injuries, though she admitted the stunt left her sore.

“I’m perfectly fine, just my whole back really hurts.

Probably more from the way I moved—it was really quick and agile, but also a little crazy,” she said.

After the incident, the men reportedly didn’t chase her, and she criticized those who blamed her for walking alone at night.

“I leave university at 9 p.m., so I had no other choice,” she explained.

The dramatic escape has drawn widespread admiration online, with social media users praising her lightning-fast reflexes.
