And finally… German man wakes up to brick wall built in front his door

bricks-459299_960_720A man in Germany has started the New Year with quite a shock - after finding himself bricked in to his own home.

The home owner in Mainhausen, Hesse, opened his front door on Monday to find someone had quietly built a brick wall in front of it during the night, police confirmed.

Police commented in an official statement that the act must have made the victim feel “like a Berliner in August 1961”.

Officer Ingbert Zacharias told German news outlet Hessenshau.de: “The man opened his door in the morning and stood in front of a wall…Trick or jerk, we do not know.”



The strange occurrence is still being investigated and is estimated to have caused several hundred euros of damage.
