Russian schoolchildren called the police after a “drunk” mother was filmed attempting to push a pram up a skateboarding ramp. The video shows the woman trying twice, stumbling and landing on the floor, risking injury to the baby.

Reports on Russian social media suggest that the woman was intoxicated, having consumed at least two liters of beer before deciding to take her youngest child on a ride to the local skatepark.

At the start of the video, the mother accelerates and crashes into the base of the ramp. The momentum causes her to fall forward, and her little girl almost falls out of the baby carriage. After calming the distressed child down, who is now crying, the woman attempts to go up the ramp a second time but slips, causing the infant to backward-somersault out of the stroller.
