The woman's ponytail also appears to be completely still despite the rest of the world moving around her.
The footage was posted alongside the caption: "She was like that for a minute before."
The person recording the clip and zooming in on the woman is heard asking: “Why she frozen?”, adding “Bruh, I’m tripping.”
The woman then started to walk again as the person filming exclaimed: “What the f**k.”
In the caption of the video, he later added, “NPC caught lacking.”
