Warning: content of concern

It started out as a regular dance video, but things went south when a woman captured a man breaking into her apartment with the camera.

A Maryland woman named Hannah Viverette was filming her dance routine on her phone as a man climbed her two-story balcony and entered her apartment.

The ordeal captured on camera has been viewed more than 44 million times.

In the clip, Viverette sees the man and repeatedly asks who he is, and the man appears to answer in Spanish. She asks him to “please come out” before running out of her apartment and knocking on a neighbor’s door for help and calling the police.

Viverette has spoken to the US media about the incident.

“My whole world stopped,” he told Buzzfeed. “I was prepared for him to take something out of his pockets because he wouldn’t take his hands out of his pockets while looking at me and muttering things that I couldn’t understand.”

She told NBC: “When you first opened the door, I was prepared, for a few moments, to die.”

According to Buzzfeed, the woman learned that the man lived across the street. The 36-year-old man was charged with stalking, robbery, second-degree assault and malicious destruction of property.

Viverette added that she has been overwhelmed with positive messages since posting the video to her TikTok account.

“Women have also approached me to tell me similar experiences or things they have gone through that they were not lucky enough to record on video.” she said.

Social media users praised Viverette for his composure and quick thinking during the incident.

“You did amazing,” wrote one person.

“I’m so happy that you were recording and that you have proof! Glad you are doing well,” added another.

“Everyone take note. She did not return to the balcony door to close it. He could have been waiting. She did the right thing by seeking help,” wrote an additional person.
