   A HARROWING video has shown the moment a five-year-old boy was crushed
   to death by a lift while playing with his sisters.

   building in Mumbai, India when the tragic accident took place.

   The distressing footage shows the five-year-old trapped between a heavy
   brown door and the lift's metal gate moments before the lift starts to
   move.

   The children had used the lift to reach the Mumbai building's fourth
   floor.

   As his sisters walk through the lift's main door to leave, the
   harrowing clip shows Mohammad stop and turn to close the lift's metal
   gate as the main brown door swings shut in front of him.

   In a matter of seconds, Mohammad becomes stuck between the two doors
   and can be seen struggling to push the brown door open.

   But while Mohammad is still trapped, the lift slowly begins move,
   rising to the sixth floor and tragically crushing the young boy to
   death.
