Prickly customer

Prickly customer

This prickly customer gave police a run for their money after terrifying a family when it got trapped in their cellar.

The squeals from the hedgehog with its head trapped in a yoghurt carton were so loud the Neubaum family called cops in Emsdetten, Germany, fearing that someone had broken into their basement.

"He was making a lot of noise that was being amplified by the carton. It's an easy mistake to make," laughed one officer.
