A tourist has died in Georgia after falling into an underpass while walking down a street.

Russian woman Arina Glazunova was in Tbilisi, Georgia, with her friend on 27 September on a night out as they filmed themselves dancing and singing.

The 24-year-old was unwittingly filming her final moments as she sang along to 'For The Last Time' a song by Russian boyband Hunger Boys and the phone was passed back and forth between her and her friend.

As they were looking at the camera and not where they were going, the footage was suddenly interrupted by a scream as Arina fell into an underpass on the street where she died.

After the scream there were a few seconds of blurred footage before filming stopped, with the 24-year-old then rushed to hospital before she was pronounced dead from a broken neck and head injuries.

Pictures of the place she fell show stairs leading beneath the street into a subway, with the drop protected only by a knee-high wall.

Only the very short wall prevents people from falling down some distance onto hard concrete steps.

Someone who tripped over the wall would be subjected to a drop of some distance with a very hard landing.

Following Arina's death a street memorial has been erected to mark the spot where the 24-year-old tourist fell and died.

Some locals have also hit out at the hazardous spot in Tbilisi is, with a local named as Dato Akobia posting on social media to say how dangerous the small wall Arina fell over is.

They said: "Anyone could fall over that wall."

Other images of the drop posted on social media showed it from another angle which demonstrates that the wall would do little to prevent someone walking into it from falling down the drop and onto the stairs.

There's just the little wall that wouldn't go beyond most people's shins to prevent them from tripping down the drop.

People seeing the drop said 'you can not see the barrier' in the dark and said they would 'be surprised if this was the first time' someone had fallen down.

According to the Daily Mail, Tbilisi's City Hall said that the steps and drop were built during the Soviet era and were in line with safety standards from the time.

They also report that city mayor Kakha Kaladze said the underpasses across Tbilisi adhere to modern safety standards.
