A 15-year-old boy has sparked outrage after throwing a 15kg chair from a height at Westfield Shopping Centre in what he claimed was just a "prank." The shocking incident, caught on video, shows the heavy seat plummeting to the ground, narrowly avoiding pedestrians below.
Police were quick to respond, questioning the teenager and issuing a stern warning about the potentially deadly consequences of his actions. The boy reportedly told officers he "didn't think it was that deep," but authorities emphasised the severity of the stunt.
A Dangerous Game
Eyewitnesses described the moment the chair was hurled, with one shopper saying, "It could have killed someone. Kids don't realise how quickly things can go wrong." The incident has reignited debates about youth behaviour and accountability.
Police Response
Officers confirmed they are treating the matter seriously, though no arrests have been made yet. A spokesperson stated, "This was an incredibly reckless act that put lives at risk. We urge parents to speak to their children about the dangers of such behaviour."
The shopping centre has since reviewed its security measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
