How to get element based on coordinates

Suppose i have coordinates like top: 995, left: 216. Now i want to get the element in the DOM which is in this position (or an element of a particular class which is closest to this element) . Something like: 

var element = coordinates().closest('this class');

How to achieve this is javascript (jquery or angularjs solution would also work).

Thanks

Use Document.elementFromPoint()

The elementFromPoint() method of the Document interface returns the topmost element at the specified coordinates.

var element = document.elementFromPoint(x, y);
