BERLIN: A man died on Christmas Day in Germany after he was hit in the head by a flying piece of metal from a condom vending machine that he and two accomplices blew up in an apparent robbery attempt, police said on Monday.
The 29-year-old man was taken to hospital in the western town of Schoeppingen, near the Dutch border, by the two other men who fled the scene of the explosion in a car, leaving behind condoms and money scattered around the gutted vending machine.
