Hedgehog hurled at teenager by angry adult

William Singalargh, 27, is said to have thrown the hedgehog from 15 feet away during a row with the unnamed 15-year-old.

"When it hit the victim in the leg, it caused a large red welt and several puncture marks," said a police source in Whakatane, on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island.

The hedgehog caused a large red welt and several puncture marks to the 15-year-old victim's leg. "The man was arrested shortly after wards, and he's been charged with assault with a weapon, namely a hedgehog."

A court hearing was held last April 17. At the time the defendant was planning to contest the charge.

The hedgehog was dead by the time police arrived at the scene, although it is not known whether it was still alive at the time of the assault.
