A teenage boy is in a ‘serious’ condition in hospital after boarding a train and electrocuting himself in the genitals.
The 15-year-old fell to the rails in pain before being pulled onto the platform.
The boy was making a video on social media when his stunt went wrong in Elektrougli, 30 miles (48 kilometers) east of Moscow.
As he climbed onto the engine, his crotch hit the pantograph connecting the train to the overhead wires, causing him a severe electric shock.
“Instead of a spectacular stunt for the camera and countless likes, he suffered an injury that he will remember for the rest of his life when the doctors saved him,” a report said.
