Watch the moment a 5.3 magnitude earthquake hits neighbourhood in Greek capital

This was the moment buildings shook as a 5.3 magnitude earthquake hit the Greek capital of Athens today (July 19).

Footage from an apartment in the neighbourhood of Patisia shows the building violently shaking during the tremors.

The filmer told Newsflare: "I was not inside the house the moment the earthquake hit. I freaked out when I saw the footage. Luckily it was all good at the end.''
