German police had to rescue four frozen walkers who called up begging to be saved from roving wild boars - and who were hiding in a waste container.
Police in Darmstadt, south of Frankfurt, say they received an emergency call at nearly 3 a.m. on Sunday from a man who said he and three companions had fled into the container after being surprised by a group of boars during a nighttime walk in the woods.
He said they didn't dare to emerge.
A police statement Monday says that a patrol found the four shivering in the metal container and escorted them from the scene.
The boars already had disappeared.
