SINGAPORE: What appears to be a leaked CCTV video has been circulated online, purportedly showing the moments before a 17-year-old male fell to his death in an Orchard Road mall on Friday.

In the 15-second clip , a teenager uses both hands to jump over the 1.2m railing of a link bridge in Orchard Central while a girl in white holds up her right hand. Seconds later, she appears to panic and looks over the railing.
