A love-struck Pennsylvania man attempted to sneak into Germany to visit his girlfriend during travel lockdowns — by disguising himself as a janitor at the airport, according to a report.

The unidentified 20-year-old man flew Sunday on United Airlines from Washington, DC, to Frankfurt airport, where he donned a yellow neon vest to try to deceive security guards and border control, ABC News reported.

Once he arrived in the terminal, he took two trash cans and attempted to empty them behind the security area, according to the report.

But his plan was foiled when an officer grew suspicious that he wasn’t wearing a security ID — not to mention that he couldn’t speak German, the news outlet reported.

She notified federal police, who questioned the man, and he admitted that he was trying to defy travel restrictions imposed to stop the spread of the coronavirus, the report said.

US citizens aren’t allowed to enter the country under the restrictions, but he wanted to see his German girlfriend, whom he met while she was on a student exchange program stateside, according to the outlet.

“The boy wanted to protect her so he did not reveal her name,” a police spokesman told ABC News.

Police ultimately released the man, who then spent the night in the airport transit area before being deported home, the outlet said.
