In Nizhny Novgorod, police officers identified the young "hook" artist - the hero who caused a stir with the published video.

      Police officers in Nizhny Novgorod have identified the minor involved in a dangerous act captured on video that went viral online. The incident was recorded by the subway's surveillance cameras. The footage shows the teenager clinging to a train as it departs, posing a threat not only to his own life and health but also to the safety of other passengers. This incident is not the first: earlier this spring, law enforcement had already registered a similar act involving the same teenager at the "Kanavinskaya" subway station. An administrative offense report has been filed against the legal representative of the minor under part 1 of article 5.35 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (failure of parents or other legal representatives to fulfill their duties regarding the upbringing and maintenance of minors).

      Dear parents! The regional police remind you of the necessity to regularly conduct explanatory conversations with children about personal and property safety rules.

      Clinging to electric transport can lead to severe health consequences due to:

      - contact with heated brake resistors, which can cause burns;

      - electric shock when coming into contact with the overhead line, wires, or equipment under voltage;

      - falling onto the tracks and under the wheels;

      - collisions with platforms, supports, traffic lights, bridges, tunnels, and other vehicles.
