Soviet-era buildings in Russia frequently have a metal rubbish chute in the stairwell, with a latch opening on each floor.

Tyumen emergency service officials said the incident happened late on Wednesday, but the man is already back at work.

“According to the 31-year-old victim, he jumped into the metal chute on the eighth floor to escape his girlfriend,” a statement on the service’s website said.

The officials said there had been a similar incident in Tyumen a few years ago, again with a happy outcome.
