A 45-foot tall Nutcracker balloon has been captured on video as it hit a marcher during Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on Central Park West near 74th Street on Thursday.
The footage shows a giant toy knocking off a female marcher, as the balloon handler was apparently not able to keep control of the outrageous Nutcracker due to the heavy wind.
Nutcracker is a typical Christmas character and a traditional balloon for Thanksgiving parades, along with Sponge Bob, Angry Birds and anime and Disney characters.
