"Assult by Hedgehog" New Zealand style

We like Hedgehogs here at the Angry Hedgehog so we deplore the use of the little mites as weapons. A world of Epic Fail's notes a CNN story about a case in New Zealand. The Gentleman in question was soo irate at a 15year old kid that he picked up a hedgehog and threw it at him! That has gotta hurt, both the kid and the hedgehog. Dam funny tho.....but the poor hedgehog and kid.... :-) .

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.

"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.
