A naked 17-year-old girl who was drinking with a young man she had recently met fell from an apartment window in northwest Moscow and survived, RIA-Novosti reported Monday.
The girl was hospitalized with a concussion, blunt chest trauma and a fractured left shoulder and forearm, the state-run news agency reported, citing a police source.
Police did not specify which floor the girl had fallen from or elaborate on the circumstances that led up to the fall.
The incident occurred just before noon Sunday at 22 Ulitsa Isakovskogo, Corpus 1, near the Strogina metro station. Witnesses called police to the scene.
"The girl came from the Voronezh region and was renting an apartment in the Moscow suburb of Korolyova together with a girlfriend. On the unfortunate day, she was drinking in the apartment with a young man whom she had recently met," a police source told RIA-Novosti.
Interfax had earlier reported that the girl was temporarily residing with her father. RIA-Novosti reported that the girl was drunk at the time of the fall.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
