The doors on an elevator suddenly crashed open in a residential building in southern China after a stone got stuck inside.

In the CCTV video, filmed in Quanzhou City in Fujian Province on June 2, the elevator doors suddenly distort and a gap opens up followed by loud noises.

Fortunately, no one was in the lift when the incident happened.

Repairmen and property management workers found a stone trapped in the elevator doors, which caused the lift malfunction.

The maintenance work is underway, reports said.
