Social media star Hasbulla Magomedov is now free and has been placed on house arrest after traffic violation in his hometown of Dagestan, Russia.
The Russian social media personality has apologised to his fans and public after he was freed from prison over dangerous driving in his hometown.
A video circulating on social media showed Hasbulla and his several friends performing stunts in a busy road.
The incident took place over the weekend on the streets of Makhachkala.
It is believed to be a part of wedding celebrations.
Authorities said that Hasbulla was not driving the car.
He was seen standing on the passenger’s seat inside one car performing stunts as they blocked parts of the highway.
The Dagestan's Ministry of Internal Affairs shared a video on Telegram of the offenders, including the 3ft 3 inches tall Hasbulla, lined up in a local police station explaining their actions.
Hasbulla later posted an update on social media to acknowledge the incident, but stressed he was not driving any of the cars.
'We decided to hype it up a bit... this will not happen again, we apologise. We played around a bit and had to answer for it,' he said.
“It wasn't my car and I wasn't behind the wheel.”
