WATCH: Painter falls to ground after 'irate' elderly man shakes ladder

A painter fell to the ground after an elderly person in a wheelchair shook his ladder because it was blocking his path.

CCTV footage captured the shocking moment when Decorator Fernández Sanchez, 46, painting the outside of a house on Boxing Day in San Martin de Porres, Lima, Peru, came tumbling down to the ground.

The ladder was propped up against the three-storey house which was tied to a door with rope for extra stability, according to a Daily Mail report.

However, it is believed the elderly person got angry because the rope was blocking his path.
