William Singlagah, a 28-year-old New Zealander, went above and beoynd to express his fury towards a 15-year-old agitator in Wellington. For lack of a better weapon, he picked up and heaved-to with a nearby hedgehog, striking the boy in the shin and calf. The boy was not hospitalized, and suffered only a welt and some pricks to the leg.
The hedgehog was dead by the time police on scene collected it for use in court, although the state of its livingness at the moment of the deed is still being debated. Mr. Singlagah was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon. I'm not too familiar with Kiwi prisons, but it looks like somebody might be collecting his golden ring very soon.
