A GROUP of Australians living in Canada may be investigated by police after video emerged of them throwing their mate of a second-storey balcony while he was passed out.

The group was filmed grabbing the arms and legs of their semi-naked mate — who was passed out on a sofa — apparently after a two-day booze bender.

Aussie prank taken off social media

The video, which has now been removed from Facebook and YouTube, sparked a backlash on social media, with calls for a police investigation.

LiveLeak reports that one of the men involved said “our mate Snowy passed out half naked on the couch after a two-day bender. He needed a wake up, so we threw him off the second-storey balcony of our house into the snow.”

It’s believed the fresh snow broke the man’s fall, preventing any serious injury.
