Primorje (Russia) - In Russia , a man was filmed taking a nap in a truly unusual place: He was slumbering at a lofty height on a board, which in turn was dangling from a crane. After an eyewitness shared the recording on the internet, the police are now investigating.

According to News18, the incident is said to have taken place on a construction site in the village of Solovoy-Klyuch in Primorye, Russia.

In the video, the man can be seen wrapped in a blanket and sleeping peacefully hanging from the crane.

However, he is not alone - after all, he could not have gotten himself into this position. There is also a man sitting behind the crane's joysticks, skillfully rocking it back and forth with the boom.

According to several reports, both men were under the influence of alcohol and were friends. Whether they were employed as workers on the construction site or had gained access illegally is just one of the uncertainties that the police must now clarify.

Investigators became aware of the incident when the eyewitness's clip went viral on the internet and spread beyond the country's borders.

Many users draw comparisons to the famous movie " Hangover ", in which one of the characters has an equally curious place to sleep. Other users criticize the recklessness of the friends and the consequences their actions could have had in the worst case scenario.
