A lovesick German teenager scaled a prison wall while half-naked to reach his ex-girlfriend’s cell window in a Shakespearean attempt to win her back. 

With a nod to the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet, the 18-year-old clambered up the 13ft wall to try to reach his ex-girlfriend. 

The heartbroken teenager, who could face prosecution for trespassing, refused to come down and was eventually removed by the fire brigade.

He said he was half-naked because he wanted to avoid tearing his clothes on barbed wire as he climbed up to the first-floor window.  

Local media reported that his ex-girlfriend, who is also 18, had broken up with him just before his romantic but misguided attempt to persuade her back into his arms. 

A spokesman for the youth prison in Vechta in Lower Saxony said the teen was desperate for his ex to take him back.

He managed to scale a street lamp to get over the wall so authorities have now wrapped it in barbed wire to stop any future attempts of a break-in.  

As he was being removed, the teenager suffered a minor injury, according to DPA news agency. 

No further details have been released about the teenager and his young offender ex-girlfriend – or if his efforts to win her back were successful.
