A man in New Zealand has been charged with using a hedgehog as a weapon, the New Zealand Herald has reported.

Police said William Singalargh, 27, had hurled the hedgehog about 5m (16ft) at a 15-year-old boy.

"It hit the victim in the leg, causing a large, red welt and several puncture marks," said Senior Sgt Bruce Jenkins, in the North Island town of Whakatane.

It was unclear whether the hedgehog was still alive when it was thrown, though it was dead when collected as evidence.

The police spokesman said the suspect was arrested "for assault with a weapon, namely the hedgehog."

Mr Singalargh is due to appear in court on 17 April. If convicted, he faces up to five years in prison.

What a prick.

Another video game related crime.

I bet if they search his house they'll find copies of Sonic the Hedgehog.

You mean there's a specific law against throwing Hedgehogs in New Zealand?

I'm surprised hedgehog related attacks aren't more windspread, such a perfect weapon.

WTF?

Why you kick my hedgehog?

5 years in prison? In my village, you'd get a goat and a young maiden's hand in marriage if you were able to throw a hedgehog 16 feet.
