This is the moment a taxi passenger jumped out of a moving car to allegedly avoid paying the fare.
Footage captured the woman dived out of a white Renault travelling at speed on a road in Itapetininga in Sao Paulo state, Brazil.
The passenger is seen tumbling out of the rear right door of the car and landing on the road, before managing to pick herself up and limp away.
Local media reported that she began to make her escape as soon as the cab driver requested the fare.
A passing cyclist is seen appearing to stop to check if she was ok, before she is seen walking off.
The taxi driver claimed he was about to drive to the police station after the woman said she didn’t have the cash to pay for her journey.
She had also given a different name on the way to the town centre to the one the trip was booked under.
She was travelling with Ubiz Car, a local Uber-style ride-hailing service in Brazil.

As of 2022, the app covered 24 cities in the country and had more than 5,000 drivers on its books.
The lady eventually paid the fare, totalling 10.40 Brazilian reals (or £1.38) by bank transfer.
In Brazil, cab hailings apps including Uber offer cash as a payment option when calling a ride.
Last month, the Uber trialled accepting cash payments for all journeys in the UK outside London.
Drivers can however opt out of accepting physical money if they are don’t wish to handle the notes and coins or are concerned about passengers running off without paying – known as bilking.
Those that choose to take cash can refund any change due via the app.
While the US giant has typically battled Chinese competitor DiDi for the market in South America, several local startup rivals have more recently entered the fray.
