Meanwhile, an eyewitness told Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper, “I was walking with my colleague and filming the historic street view. I noticed the row and began to shoot when this happened.

“Someone with medical experience was nearby, and checked their pulses, saying they had both survived. We called an ambulance,” the eyewitness added.

Local reports said both were lucky enough to just suffer from broken bones, and survived the incident. Following the horrific incident, the St Petersburg state prosecutor’s office is investigating the matter and trying to find out whether the balcony was in disrepair.
