As builders were entering the third floor apartment in Offenburg, Baden-Württemberg, they encountered a goat.

The goat they told police, was an angry billy goat. It had chased them from the apartment on the third floor.

The police were not sure if the builders were not making up the story, but went to check it out.

When they arrived at the 3rd floor apartment, they found that there was an adult male goat there. It apparently was living there. The goat had been eating curtains that were left behind while work was being done on the apartment.
