HAMBURG, Germany, Aug. 27 (UPI) -- A crane operator in Germany discovered a man drunkenly passed out on a train onto which he had climbed 108 miles away, police said.

Police said the 21-year-old man, whose name was not released, had been drinking Saturday night in Osnabruck and apparently climbed aboard the stopped freight train when he was unable to find his way home, The Local.de reported Monday.

The man fell asleep and woke up several hours later when the crane driver found him in Hamburg.

Police said the man told them he had not intended to leave his town. They said he could face a fine for riding on a non-passenger train.
