DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — According to a Gulf News report last week, police are investigating a viral video and photos of Viktoria Odintcova, 23, hanging off the 1,008-foot Cayan Tower. Odintcova, shown only holding a man's hand for support, didn't appear to use any safety equipment in the shoot.
Officials with Cayan Group told Gulf Business that Odintcova did not seek permission for the shoot.
"I didn't want to hurt the reputation of the city," she told The National in an email. "I hope we can resolve this misunderstanding."
Dubai police Maj. Gen. Khalil Ebrahim Al Mansouri told Gulf News that risky stunts like these endanger the lives of not only the people participating but also pedestrians on the ground.
He also told The National that police want Odintcova to sign a pledge "not to repeat any dangerous moves that could endanger her life in Dubai."
