A minor roofer nearly fell off the roof of a building in Yekaterinburg (VIDEO)

      In Yekaterinburg, a seventh grader nearly fell from the roof of a high-rise building on Stepan Razin Street. A video of the incident appeared online on Tuesday, June 2, the city police reported.

      The teenager climbed down from the roof of the house onto the awning of the upper balcony, but could not climb back up on his own.

      — His friends, who were up there, just laughed and filmed him on their phones. In the end, as it turned out later, a passerby who witnessed the situation came to the teenager's aid, the Uralweb.ru reported from the media relations department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in Yekaterinburg.

      On the same day, all participants in the incident were identified by the PDN staff of OP No. 5. It turned out that they were seventh-grade students from one of the schools in the Lenin district of the Ural capital. The teenagers had not previously been registered with the PDN and were characterized positively.

      — In the police, the schoolchildren explained their behavior as a desire to take impressive photos and videos for social media. As a result, the "photo session" heroes were registered, and their parents were held administratively responsible under Article 5.35 of the Administrative Offenses Code of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported.

      The police of Yekaterinburg once again urges minors to observe basic personal safety rules and "not to risk their lives for reels that could be the last in their feed."

      Earlier, "Channel Four" reported on roofers who climbed onto the roof of the Circus and entered a closed area under reconstruction, also for the sake of fame on social media.
