A former Russian mayor has been caught on video footage doing doughnuts in a Ferrari in the middle of a shopping mall.
CCTV apparently shows Aleksandr Donskoy, former mayor of Arkhangelsk, speeding down the aisles of the Moscow shopping centre.
Security officers, who are seen jumping out of the way, said it took them 15 minutes to stop the supercar.
Donskoy told Russian site 360 that the whole thing was a ‘performance’ in the style of artist Marina Abramovich.
‘I like to joke,’ he said. ‘This is such a funny performance, a way of attracting attention. But, unfortunately, not everyone took it as a joke. On the whole I think this is such a funny stunt.
‘I chose a safe place and the best route for this performance. Everything was thought out, there was no risk of causing any damage.’
