POLICE IN Germany were shocked to find a Polish man running down a motorway pulling a three-wheeled trailer.

Motorists near Coburg in Bavaria saw the man towing a load with a rod attached to his back and called the authorities.

After questioning the 35-year-old man, police discovered he was a devout Roman Catholic Pole on his way home from a European pilgrimage that had taken him as far as Portugal.

The man was carrying all he needed for his journey in a converted roof box which officers declared as roadworthy.
