Christchurch house wall collapse: Teenage passer-by "shaken up"

A teenager who narrowly avoided a wall collapsing on him has said he was "really shaken up inside."

Ryan Puttick, 17, was on his way to catch a train for a college exam when the gable end of a house collapsed in Hyde Mews in Christchurch, Dorset.

A video captured by a doorbell camera shows the student calmly continued to walk past after the bricks fell and seriously damaged a car on 21 May.

Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue confirmed no one else was injured.

A crew of firefighters worked with a structural engineer to make the property and area safe after it was called at 12:10 BST.

Ryan said he was "really shook up" by the wall collapse but had to stay calm to get to a college exam

After a video showing Mr Puttick appearing calm after the near miss was shared multiple times on social media, he explained he was panicking inside.

He told the BBC: "I know the video looks like I was fine, like it was a normal thing, but inside I was really, really nervous, really shook up."

The student said he was just thinking "get out of here as smoothly, as swiftly as possible," so that he wouldn't miss his train or his exam.

Hyde Mews is a development of 17 houses on land near Christchurch railway station, according to London-based property company Solum, which completed the homes in 2013.

Residents living in the area said they were shocked and concerned their homes weren't safe.

One woman living in Hyde Mews said: "I was in my living room when I heard a loud bang and it made me jump because the house was shaking. I came out to see the wall on the floor, it's just really shocking."

Solum has been contacted by the BBC for comment.
