Allegedly

A man has been arrested and charged after appearing to purposely throw ice on the floor before pretending to slip on it.

57-year-old Alexander Goldinsky, from the town of Randolph, New Jersey in the US,  had been subcontracted to work for a company when the incident happened in a staff room.

CCTV cameras capture Goldinsky filling up a plastic cup with ice cubes before spilling them on the floor. Seconds later, he leans against a nearby counter and appears to lie himself down on the floor where he remained until he was discovered.

A report then adds he filed a false insurance claim for the ambulance service and treatment he received at a local hospital for injuries he claimed.

Goldinsky was arrested last month and then charged with insurance fraud and theft by deception. He is due to appear in court next week.
