A US man got so fed up with the constant droning from his neighbours’ vuvuzela horns that he threatened to kill them with an axe, German police said today.
Police in the Bavarian city of Weiden said today the 45-year-old man confronted his neighbours during yesterday’s World Cup match between the Netherlands and Cameroon wielding the axe.
They say he was so sick of the constant buzzing and honking from the vuvuzelas since the World Cup tournament began that he screamed: “I will kill you,” and then returned home.
German authorities took the US Army civilian employee into custody and turned him over to US military police. The military says he has been released and that the matter is in German hands.
Prosecutors are considering whether to bring charges.
