VIDEO: Man Escapes Through Tram Window in Brno, Leaves Passport Behind

An unusual incident took place on the afternoon of September 29 in Brno.

A foreign passenger, reportedly Russian-speaking, was caught riding a tram without a valid ticket. When asked to pay a fine, the man decided to flee in an unexpected manner—by slipping through a narrow tram window.

Before making his daring escape, the man had handed his passport to the ticket inspectors so they could issue a fine receipt.

However, in his haste to get away, he left the document behind. Despite his quick getaway, his passport remained with the ticket inspectors, who later handed it over to the police.

“Fare dodgers often try to escape, but this is the first time someone has done so through a window,” said Hana Tomastíková, a spokesperson for the Brno Transport Company.

Although the man successfully evaded the inspectors at the scene, his escape was in vain. The transport company has already issued a receipt for the fine based on his passport details and will pursue payment.

Meanwhile, the local police are investigating and are working to track down the individual.
