The adult suffered a fractured vertebra, and the baby was also taken to the hospital. 
On March 15 in Almetyevsk, a huge ice floe fell from a roof and injured two people at once: a man and a child. The adult had a broken vertebra, the baby was sent to Kazan for treatment. The baby's mother escaped with fright.
It only hurt my leg a little - it was a bruise. Most of them fell on the child. Because the snow was so heavy, the stroller fell on its side and the child turned over, the woman said later.
It is noteworthy that snow and ice melted off at the pediatrician’s waiting room:
The man was going up the stairs, and the mother and child were coming down from the other side. At this time the ice floe collapsed
The city prosecutor visited the scene of the incident. And the security forces opened a criminal case under paragraph “c” of Part 2 of Art. 238 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Provision of services that do not meet safety requirements, resulting in negligence in causing serious harm to health or death of a person” and Part 1 of Art. 118 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Causing grievous harm to health through negligence.” But they have not yet announced who the investigation will begin against.
The building is maintained by the local management company "Almetyevsk". She will probably be the first to come under scrutiny. As for the victims, the man will now have his spine treated, and the baby has a closed craniocerebral injury.
As his mother reported:
Now he feels much better, we are taking treatment, we have been prescribed medications. They said surgery was not needed.
She added that the management company servicing that house had already contacted her, apologized and offered help with treatment. She refused and contacted the Investigative Committee:
We won’t just leave it like that in any case,” the woman said.
