Revenge upon a train… An attempt to harm a speeding train might lead a Russian to jail.

The incident happened on January 12 in central Russia when, at approximately 2.50 pm local time, a piece of ice hit and broke one of the speeding train’s windows, Lenta.ru reports.

The accident was reported to the police, which soon arrested a former convict, Mikhail Samartsev, born in 1974.

The hooligan told police that he was driven by revenge, explaining that when he was walking along the railway, a wave of air from the passing train pushed him aside.
