A resident of a city in Siberia, who attempted suicide by jumping out of a window and hit a 7-year-old girl on his way down, has been fined 100,000 rubles ($3,300).

The 29-year-old man jumped out of his seven-storey building in 2008 during an argument with his ex-wife, who had refused to resume their relationship. He landed on top of a girl, but both survived.

The girl, however, suffered injuries to her hip and had to spend more than three months in a hospital. She still cannot walk.
