Kangaroo Punches Jogger
By Miss Cellania on Mar 22, 2010 at 11:39 am

David Striegl of Canberra, Australia was jogging on Mount Ainslie during his lunch break when he was assaulted by a kangaroo who punched him in the face! Striegl was found dazed and bleeding and was taken to a hospital by a passing motorist.

    His only injury seemed to be some cuts and bruises, a black eye and a wounded ego with his colleagues making fun of his misfortune and giving him a new nickname – "Skippy".

    "The main thing they've been asking is whether I got one (punch) back on the roo," he told the Australian Associated Press.

    "I can't even say that, because one punch and it put me to the floor.

    "All my years of playing football and never a fight, and then I have a fight with a kangaroo."
