Spanish man who filmed himself tipping a huge fridge off a cliff is forced to drag it all the way back up by police

  • Man fined €45,000 (£41,000) after he threw fridge over a cliff in Almeria, Spain

A man who laughed as he slid a fridge over a cliff has been made to pay a €45,000 fine and sent to drag it back up to the roadside.

Spanish authorities shared two videos of the man on their social media after he was identified in Almeria, Spain.

In the first clip the man, whose name is not known, is seen laughing as he jokes about recycling and launches the fridge over a barrier. 

The fridge bounced down the cliff creating a cloud of dust

A Spanish man, pictured left, who tipped a fridge over a barrier and sent it tumbling down a cliff, right, has been fined €45,000 and made to haul it back to the top

At the start of the clip the man looks at the camera and jokes by saying ‘recycling, Let’s recycle it,’ reports the Guardian.

After balancing it for a few seconds the man tilts it over the edge and pushes it with a large shove, causing the fridge to hit the floor and create a cloud of dust.

The fridge then quickly slides down the cliff face before spinning a couple of times after hitting rocks.

Satisfied with the disposal, the man is then seen smiling as he closes the door on a white van parked on the road.  

After police identified the man he was told to fetch the fridge and bring it back to the roadside. Another person appears to have helped him haul it back to the roadside in Spain

However in a second video posted to the police’s Twitter account the same day, the man and another person are seen painstakingly dragging the fridge back up the cliff.

The pair are seen slowly making their way up the jagged surface and tipping the fridge to try and negotiate it up.  

As they reach the top the fridge is turned on its side, allowing them a few seconds rest to contemplate how best to complete the task. 

Eventually they manage to reach the roadside after hauling the fridge up by hand.

The two videos have now received more than 700,000 views on Twitter, with dozens of people praising the police for finding the man.

They later shared another video showing a man throwing a washing machine down a hill side, but said ‘the investigation remains open’ in that case.
