some weird stuff happened when i was there but this made me chuckle

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) -- A New Zealand man has been accused of
assault with a prickly weapon -- a hedgehog.

Police allege that William Singalargh, 27, picked up the hedgehog and
threw it at a 15-year-old boy in the North Island east coast town of
Whakatane on February 9. pronounced fakataanay


"It hit the victim in the leg, causing a large, red welt and several
puncture marks," police Senior Sgt. Bruce Jenkins said Monday. The
teen did not need medical treatment, he added.


Police arrested Singalargh shortly after the incident, and charged him
with assault with a weapon -- "namely the hedgehog," Jenkins said.


At a hearing in Whakatane District Court on February 14, Singalargh's
lawyer said he intended to plead innocent, The Herald on Sunday
newspaper reported. The case is due to resume on April 17. If
convicted, he faces up to five years in prison, Jenkins said.


"People often get charged with assault for throwing things at other
people," Jenkins said, although he admitted the use of a hedgehog as a
weapon was "uncommon."


It was unclear if he also would face animal cruelty

Could have been worse.

He could have thrown hedgehog flavored crisps at him.

I hope someone picks up that prick (no pun intended) and throws him into the path of a moving bus. I hate cruelty to animals. The t w a t.

Yes I agree ,like that 15 year old at LLandudno zoo last year who throw the rabbit to the crocodile and ran off laughing of course he was full of remorse when caught hence a nice light sentence he should have done time ,at that age he new what he was doing
