Clearly messing around with friends, the group seem to be playing some sort of chase game as one of them runs away from the other onto the busy street.
As the child runs onto the road without looking, there are cars coming both ways that slam on their brakes to avoid hitting any of the kids.
Not seeming to see the car as it slows down, the child panics before running back onto the pavement by the bus stop.
Wearing dark colours the children are not easy to spot either as the sun has nearly set at the time of the near miss.
The incident happened at around 8.45pm on Sunday evening and the video was posted as a plea to parents to remind their children of road safety to avoid a more serious incident.
Not appearing to have learnt anything from the event the kids laugh at the side of the road.
