BERLIN: A desperate German woman finally called emergency services
to rescue her after a friend visiting her at her apartment talked
for 30 hours straight, authorities said Tuesday.
A police spokesman in the western city of Speyer
confirmed reports about the case, in which the guest rambled on
about personal problems and became increasingly intoxicated until
the 48-year-old dialed the emergency hotline.
“After an unbelievable 30 hours and failed
attempts to encourage the guest to leave last Saturday, the woman
did not know what else to do but to call an ambulance,” the police
said.
When the paramedics refused to carry the guest
out of the apartment, the woman called the police, who picked up the
friend and drove her home.
The spokesman said the guest would face no
criminal charges.
