Former Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann "severed the roof beams" of his neighbour's garage with a chainsaw, shocking reports coming out of Germany claim.
Lehmann, who played 200 times for Arsenal and was part of the 2003/04 'Invincibles' side that went the whole season unbeaten, has been in a long-running feud with his neighbour according to Bild.
The 52-year-old has a property that overlooks Lake Starnberg in southern Bavaria and has an unbelievably scenic view.
The snow-covered Alps are an incredible backdrop to the house by the like but Lehmann was denied a clear sight after his next neighbour's new garage got in the way.

Absolutely furious, the ex Germany international proceeded to go next door with a chainsaw and ripped through the garage beams "in a frenzy of rage", it is claimed.
He has embroiled in a bitter beef with his next door neighbours for quite some time and has reported them for “property damage and coercion” in the past.
Lehmann was doing the damage this time though, having been caught on camera. He had tried to turn off the CCTV so that he was not seen but did not succeed - with his neighbour able to watch the rampage unfold on a live broadcast.

Lehmann believes the garage was built on his property but the police were called to his house after the alleged attack which caused hundreds of pounds of damage.
He is now being investigated for three other acts of vandalism, totalling more than £8,500.
Lehmann bought the house back for a whopping £4.2 million in 2007 when he was playing for Arsenal.

After retiring from football, Lehmann worked as a goalkeeping coach at Arsenal before taking up an assistant manager role with Augsburg.
He was most recently on the board at Hertha Berlin but was sacked in disgrace after allegedly sending a racist WhatsApp message to Dennis Aogo, who screenshotted the text on Instagram.
He apologised for his comments but was promptly removed from his position.
