Five-month-old baby dies as man jumps from 17th floor of building, lands on pram
A five-month-old baby has died in what can be called the most horrifying way ever in Russia.
The child died after a man reportedly jumped from the 17th floor of a building and landed on its stroller.
The tragedy, which was captured on CCTV, happened on Thursday in the south-western city of Voronezh.
Footage shows a mother leaving an apartment block pushing a pram with her child inside.
She turns onto the street and is seen walking along the pavement.
She then turns to the left to cross a road, pushing the pram out in front of her, when a man falls from above and onto the street.
As he falls he lands partially on the pram, hitting the baby and knocking it out onto the tarmac.
The terrified mother is then seen rushing to her child while the man remains motionless on the tarmac.
The distraught woman can be seen picking the baby up and holding it in her hands while reportedly crying to people nearby for help.
Shocked witnesses called an ambulance and the police.
Paramedics arrived at the scene within several minutes and tried to revive the child.
But despite all the efforts, the baby died.
The man was also pronounced dead at the scene, having died immediately in the fall, according to reports.
Onlookers said medics had to inject the mother with sedatives following the incident.
Local media reported that the baby was the woman’s firstborn child.
A police source confirmed:
“The man who fell upon the pram died.
“The 5-month-old baby, who was inside the pram, died in the ambulance.”
The incident reportedly occurred at around 5 pm.
Sources said the man had jumped from a 17th-story window.
Detectives are now working at the scene.
Police have not disclosed the names of the people involved and have yet to release further details about the incident.
An investigation is ongoing.
