Two pupils were injured when a gust of wind caused their school ROOF to collapse onto the playground.

CCTV footage shows how the kids scarper as the covering above the inner courtyard detaches.

One pupil can be seen legging it in a bid to get out of the way of the falling debris.

But he is hit by a corner of the large, rectangular panel a split-second before he can get out of harm’s way.

He is knocked to the ground and is sandwiched between the roof part and a floor drain.

His schoolmates immediately run over to lift up the heavy panel and help the lad to his feet again.

A windstorm caused the roof part to detach at the school in Bogotá, Colombia, yesterday (4 Jun).

Firefighters and paramedics were dispatched to the institution to tend to at least two injured minors, according to reports.

The strong winds in and around the Colombian capital caused havoc on Tuesday, as reported on Need To Know.

The most reported occurrence was falling trees, according to local media.

In one part of the city, a large tree fell on top of four vehicles, writing some of them off completely.

At the time of writing, the school had not made a public statement about the incident.
