Smelly durian fruit package causes evacuation in Bavarian post office

In a bizarre case, 12 German postal workers had to receive medical attention due to a pungent smelling package. The parcel later turned out to contain the notoriously smelly durian fruit. The incident saw police, emergency services and fire-fighters being called to a post office in the Bavarian town of Schweinfurt on Saturday, after a staff came across the smelly package.

The entire building was evacuated with around 60 employees forced to leave before the package was fully examined.
