WHAKATANE, New Zealand, April 7 (UPI) -- A man in New Zealand is charged with assault with a weapon for allegedly hurling a hedgehog at a 15-year-old boy, police said.

Whakatane resident William Singalargh, 27, is accused of chucking the prickly critter at the teen, causing minor injuries to the victim's leg, the New Zealand Herald reports.

"It hit the victim in the leg, causing a large, red welt and several puncture marks. He was arrested shortly afterward for assault with a weapon, namely the hedgehog," Senior Sgt. Bruce Jenkins said.

Police have not said whether Singalargh knew the teen or what caused him to throw the hedgehog, which was dead when authorities found it.

An April 17, hearing is set for Singalargh in the Saturday incident, the newspaper said.

Poor little hedgehog.

Proper grip for Hedgehog Hurling:

Please tell me that's the hedgehog's nose.

Yeah, they need to charge the guy with animal cruelty too.

I think it's just a person holding it.

Ummmmm......BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Do you think the hedgehog may have been dead when the guy threw it?

Then charge him with abuse of a corpse.
