Real life sonic hedgehog attack

Some poor kid back in NZ became the latest victim of video game imitation violence as some joker, possibly trying to recreate the popular Sega game Sonic The Hedgehog, hurled a live hedgehog at him. This from the BBC:

“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.

And you gotta love this quote from the same copper:

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

Tragically the poor, defenceless (well…) hedgehog did not survive the ordeal. God speed little guy.
