WELLINGTON (AFP) - Hurling a hedgehog at a teenager has landed a New Zealand man a date in court, a report said.

William Singalargh picked up the animal and threw it about five metres (15 feet) at a 15-year-old in the eastern North Island town of Whakatane in February, the Herald on Sunday reported.

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

"He was arrested shortly afterwards for assault with a weapon, namely the hedgehog."

Police did not say why the alleged assault took place, and were unsure if the hedgehog was alive before the incident.

But they confirmed the hedgehog was dead afterwards and had been collected as evidence.

Singalargh was due to appear in court on April 17 to face the assault charge.

That guy should have hurled his own head at the teenager; it's obviously dead too.

Aww, that poor Hedgehog, that guy is a idiot :mad:

this me want to watch 'sonic, the hedgehog'

i feel bad for the hedgehog. some people seriously need to think before doing things.

And you don't care anything about the teenager he assaulted?
What do you think? You haven't even mentioned anything about the situation, the first thing you say is wherever I care about the teenager or not don't you have anything more to add? and of course I care.

Being hit by a flying hedgehog ranks very high on the list of things I never want to happen to me.

Sad for the Hedhehog too.
