Italian authorities are searching for a man who jumped half-naked from a three-story building into a canal in Venice.
Calling the man “idiot“, the mayor of Venice Luigi Brugnaro said in a post on Twitter that will give the man “certificate of stupidity and many kicks” for his act, which went viral on social media.
The mayor also added the video of the dive to his account, saying the man and his accomplice who took the video would be arrested.
In the video, the person, wearing only his underwear, is seen jumping from the roof of a building into a canal, and even lands on his stomach.
“He risked his life”
“We are trying to identify him, report him, him and his friend downstairs who made the stupid video for social media,” said the enraged mayor.
The mayor also said he sent police to the building to determine how the man was able to enter the building and how he managed to reach the roof, according to the CNN report.
“He risked his life in that jump, but he is also a criminal. They don’t understand the danger they are creating in this city. What if a boat passed underneath?”, he wondered.
The mayor urged anyone who has seen the video to help identify the person and not to “like” the video on social media.
“They do these stupid things on social networks for likes” said the mayor, adding that “we will use the law to prosecute him».
