Outbreak in Erlangen: Man damaged van for package frustration

Erlangen, Deutschland - A 39-year-old man from Erlangen took breath on Saturday, October 26, his displeasure about an unsatisfactory parcel delivery in a dramatic way. The man ran angry out of his house and beat with full force against the exterior mirror of a small van of a parcel deliverer. The incident occurred around 3 p.m. after the parcel deliverer had parked a package in the stairwell instead of handing it over directly to the apartment door. The man was so angry that he not only harmed himself on the vehicle, but also injured his own hand.

Despite his impulsive reaction, the 39-year-old apologized during the presence of the police for the parcel deliverer for his outburst of anger. But the apology came too late: he now has to answer for property damage, as the Erlangen police said. The incident throws a light on the emotional tensions, which are sometimes connected to the modern parcel service and shows how quickly dissatisfaction can become palpable clashes.
