What happened at the studio and on the embankment
In Saint Petersburg, a fully naked man burst into a pilates studio on Piskaryovsky Prospekt, reports Life.ru citing eyewitnesses. According to them, the uninvited visitor ran into the premises on all fours, headed straight for the restroom, locked himself inside and began shouting loudly, making strange sounds. The frightened employees did not try to confront the intruder: they gathered their valuables, locked the studio and took shelter with neighbors.
How the incident ended
Soon the man left the studio and moved to Sverdlovskaya Embankment, where he stepped onto the roadway and began making movements resembling physical exercises. This attracted the attention of passersby and drivers. The unusual walk ended near one of the business centers, where he was stopped. One of the witnesses called for medical assistance, and medics took the offender away. A video from the scene was published by the Telegram channel 'How's it going, Saint Petersburg?'.
A similar case a week earlier
This is not the only recent incident of this kind in the city: on November 4, on Engels Prospekt, a 33-year-old resident of the Leningrad Region was detained while intoxicated after smashing two glass panels of a bus stop shelter. According to police, the damage amounted to 42,000 rubles, and a criminal case was opened against the man for vandalism. Unlike that case, no report of a case being opened over the pilates studio incident has been made so far — it is only known that the man was taken away by medics.
