A Russian couple on Saturday, May 29, crashed down their balcony railings and fell 25ft to the pavement below while having an argument.

A footage shows Olga Volkova and Yevgeny Karlagin, both 35, struggling on the balcony of their second-floor home in St Petersburg which suddenly broke and caused the couple to crash down in the heat of an argument.

According to Local media, the couple who suffered broken limbs, were rushed to the hospital with “serious” injuries, but were not in critical condition.

Eyewitnesses said they saw the duo, who have a young son, arguing at around 10am before they fell from the balcony.

Someone with medical experience was nearby and said they had both survived after checking their pulses. An ambulance was then called.
