In Amsterdam, a woman was unable to leave her house — a "barricade" of a homeless person's belongings has grown up in front of the door

In one of Amsterdam's neighborhoods, an elderly woman encountered an unexpected problem: a veritable "maze" of boxes, bags, and junk left by a homeless man appeared in front of her front door. The pile of things made it impossible for her to go outside, despite her attempts to politely speak to the man and ask him to remove the obstruction.

According to eyewitnesses, the man simply walked away, leaving his "barricade" by the steps, effectively trapping the woman in her apartment. Neighbors and passersby witnessed the scene but were unable to immediately help the woman.
