What happened in Mostar? A foreign tourist decided to jump off the famous Old Bridge, despite warnings from locals that it’s dangerous and irresponsible. The result? After an awkward jump into the cold Neretva River, he was met by a group of angry Mostar residents who verbally and physically attacked him! Yes, you read that right — instead of helping, the locals beat him up and cursed him, believing he endangered his own and their lives.
Jumping off the Old Bridge is a traditional event in Mostar, known worldwide, but only for experienced jumpers. It takes place every year at the end of July and attracts professionals and thousands of spectators. But this tourist? He had no clue! He jumped clumsily, landed right next to a rubber boat, and caused chaos.
The police confirmed they have not received an official complaint but have launched an investigation based on video footage that quickly spread on social media. The locals are furious, and the incident sparked a flood of comments. Some defend the locals, others condemn the violence, but all agree the tourist was reckless.
If you thought jumping off the bridge was just fun, think again! This case shows how important it is to respect local customs and warnings. Otherwise, you might end up like this unlucky tourist — beaten up and with bad memories.
