Raise your hands and step away from the hedgehog

A 27-year-old has been charged with assaulting a teenage boy - with a hedgehog.

Police allege that Whakatane resident William Singalargh picked up the creature and threw it about 5m at a 15-year-old.

"It hit the victim in the leg, causing a large, red welt and several puncture marks," said Senior Sergeant Bruce Jenkins, of Whakatane police. "He was arrested shortly afterwards for assault with a weapon, namely the hedgehog."

1. Pry it

They'll have to pry that hedgehog from his cold, dead hand.

2. Where's the animal cruelty charges?

I assure you it was just as unpleasant for the hedgehog as for the victim.

3. It may not have been alive when thrown

"It is also unknown whether the hedgehog was dead or alive at the time but it was dead when it was collected as evidence."

4. When hedgehogs are outlawed, only outlaws will have hedgehogs.

A spoon, handled properly, is a deadly weapon. I say we outlaw spoons.

Sporks are worse, but don't tell anybody, mmmkay?

5. Pretty good arm

No way in hell I could throw a hedgehog 5 meters.
