The boy was released this week after he and his guardian promised “the teen will not engage in behavior that could endanger his life and the life of others again,” an Interior Ministry spokesman told CNN in a statement.

"The notification was solely intended to warn the boy about potential consequences for his own safety, as well as to safeguard the overall safety of motorists and pedestrians," the statement said.

The video was actually taken a year ago, but apparently came to the attention of authorities only recently.
