A teenager is in a “serious” condition in hospital after boarding a train and electrocuting his genitals.
The 15-year-old fell onto the rails in agony before being dragged onto the platform.
The boy was recording a video for social media when his trick went wrong in Elektrougli, 30 miles east of Moscow.
While climbing onto the engine, his groin touched the pantograph that connected the train to the live cable, causing a strong electric shock.
“Instead of a spectacular on-camera stunt and tons of likes, he received an injury he will remember for the rest of his life if doctors save him,” one report read.
