An amazing video has emerged of a four year-old boy getting a strike at a bowling alley despite slipping over.

The footage, captured at an alley in Copenhagen, Denmark, shows the child falling over while bowling, sending the ball trundling off ponderously down the lane.

Despite veering towards the gutter on numerous occasions, the ball stays on course and ends up knocking over all the pins.

The boy then runs jubilantly towards his parents, who look rather gobsmacked.
