German man’s front door walled up overnight

BERLIN (AP) — Police say a man in western Germany ran into a wall, literally, as he opened his front door to leave the house.

The man was heading out of his house Monday morning in Mainhausen but found that unknown perpetrators — it seems quietly and without attracting attention — built a wall in the doorway during the night. He had to tear down the wall to leave.

A police spokesman said officers don’t know what the motivation was behind building the wall.
