Sometimes, what may seem like a random impulsive act, whether done for fun or otherwise, can actually be extremely dangerous.
Recently, a shocking incident involving a teenage boy throwing a brick from a high-rise flat has gone viral online, raising serious safety concerns among the public.
Caught on CCTV
According to a widely circulated CCTV clip on social media, the boy was seen walking along the corridor of a public housing flat when he suddenly picked up a brick.
Without warning, he proceeded to throw the brick over the edge from a high floor.
Moments after the brick was thrown, the boy was seen lying flat on the ground, seemingly attempting to avoid being spotted.
Shortly after, loud screams could be heard from residents on the ground floor, suggesting the brick may have landed dangerously close to people below.
The boy later got up, looked over the edge, and left the scene. His actions, however, were fully captured on camera.
Incident timing unclear, injuries unknown
The incident reportedly took place at around 3.09pm yesterday, though the exact location has not been identified.
It also remains unclear whether anyone was injured as a result of the act.
Many netizens have condemned the boy’s behaviour, describing it as extremely dangerous and potentially life-threatening.
Several have urged authorities to take action, stressing that such reckless acts could have resulted in serious injury or worse.
