Hedgehog as a weapon

Presumably in New Zealand, weapons now include the lowly hedgehog. As reported in the Globe and Mail, William Singalargh picked up a hedgehog and threw it at a 15 year old boy. Hitting the boy in the leg, the hedgehog weapon caused a large red welt and several puncture wounds. Mr Singalagh has been arrested on charges of assault with a weapon and indends to plead not quilty.

Police Sgt Jenkins stated that "the use of a hedgehog as a weapon is uncommon", which makes you wonder about New Zealand Hedgehog assaults.
