A terrifying video has been captured on camera in Brazil of a mobile phone exploding in a woman's pocket inside a crowded supermarket.

The camera footage showed the unidentified victim standing next to her husband as they checked out some items in the store in the Brazilian city of Annapolis on Saturday.

Suddenly, the device exploded, and the video showed the woman jumping in fear from the fire and running out of the store while her husband appeared to be trying to put out the flames. As soon as she got out into the street, passersby rushed to help her.

Her husband, Matheus Lima, told Brazilian news agency G1 that he took off his shirt to put out the flames.The woman was taken to Alfredo Abraão Hospital, where she was treated for first- and second-degree burns, including to her hand, forearm and back. (Images taken from video)
