A shocking case from the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug has emerged, where a resident attempted to flee by hurling his two-year-old grandson from a second-floor window. The information came from the press office of the Investigative Committee for the District Investigation Department, which is leading the probe.
The incident unfolded on the night of January 22 in the village of Aksarka, located in the Priuralsky district. According to investigators, a Russian man born in 1969 became enraged by the sustained crying of a young girl. In a moment of extreme anger, he threw the child from the height of the second floor, using the child as the target of his distress.
Remarkably, the boy survived the fall. He landed in a snowdrift, which helped cushion the impact. A neighbor, who heard the child’s cries, discovered the girl and brought her back to safety at home. Shortly after, the grandmother’s roommate transported the child to an ambulance, ensuring she received medical attention as soon as possible.
In connection with the events, a criminal case was initiated against the roommate of the girl’s grandmother on the charge of “Attempting to kill the minor.” Investigators have noted that the accused has prior court experience, adding a layer of complexity to the proceedings.
Officials stated that the investigation has now collected a substantial evidentiary base supporting the indictment and the case has been filed for court consideration. The district’s investigative body emphasized that it will continue to examine all relevant facts and gather additional proof as needed to ensure a thorough and lawful adjudication of the matter.
This episode echoes another report from the Nizhny Novgorod region, where a Russian woman was reported to have thrown her two-year-old granddaughter from the fifth floor in a separate incident. Authorities stressed that each case is treated with gravity and that investigations strive to determine all details, including contributing circumstances and the identities of those involved, to safeguard vulnerable participants in such situations.
