Terrifying scenes as Argentina fans jump from bridge onto player's bus during World Cup celebrations

There were terrifying scenes in Argentina this afternoon as fans attempted to jump from a bridge onto the player's bus.

The members of the Argentine World Cup winning team were being paraded through the streets of Buenos Aires on an open top bus. As the bus passed under a fly over bridge, fans could be seen dangling from the bridge.

Two supporters can be seen preparing to jump down from the bridge into the bus. The players on the bus wave their hands towards the fans and implore them not to jump.

Undeterred, the first supporter leaps off the bridge and sticks the landing on the top floor of the bus.

But the second supporter to jump misses the bus and crashes to the floor.

The video does not show the supporter landing on the ground. However, his angle at the time of the slip suggests that it was a nasty fall.

Shortly after, the parade was cancelled and the team was moved to an open field and were taken away by helicopter to avoid any further incident.
