In Mytishchi, two teenagers threw glass bottles from the roof of a 12-story building

Residents of Letnaya Street almost became victims of dangerous entertainment of teenagers: two minors climbed onto the roof of a multi-storey building, and one of them threw down a glass bottle. The second filmed what was happening on video. Where exactly the object fell - into the car, on the asphalt or on the head of a random passer-by - is unknown.

Judging by the footage, the house has about 12 floors. This is enough for an ordinary glass bottle to turn into a deadly projectile: when falling from such a height, it accelerates to speeds at which a blow is comparable to a hammer blow. For the car, it is broken glass, dents on the roof and hood, damaged paintwork and fragments, flying for several meters around. If the amount of damage exceeds 5 thousand rubles, we can talk about intentional damage to property from hooligan motives (part 2 of Art. 167 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) - and this is up to 5 years of imprisonment.

The worst scenario is when a bottle hits a person. From the height of the 12th floor, it is able to break the skull, damage the facial bones, cause severe traumatic brain injury. Forensic practice confirms that even a blow with a bottle flying at a speed of about 9.5 m / s, led to fractures of the bones of the skull - and from such a height, the speed will be multiples higher. With proven intent, such actions can be qualified up to attempted murder.

The responsibility of adolescents depends on age and consequences. From 16 years for petty hooliganism threatens a fine of up to 1000 rubles or administrative arrest up to 15 days; if a teenager is younger, parents are prosecuted - a fine of up to 2000 rubles under Art. 5.35 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation. From the age of 14, for significant damage to someone else’s property, criminal liability is possible under Part 2 of Article 167 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, and parents are obliged to compensate for damage from their own pocket. If hooliganism with the use of an object used as a weapon is proved - and a bottle dropped from a height falls under this - we can talk about art. 213 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation with a fine of up to a million rubles or imprisonment of up to 7 years.

For Mytishchi, this is not the first such case: residents of the district previously complained about teenagers throwing bottles and stones from the upper floors.
