Police were called to the atrium of the Coronation Shopping Centre when internal security staff were unable to restrain a reindeer which was rolling around on the floor and shouting obscenities.
The officers eventually managed to undress the two halfs and seperate the men inside.

"If you are Rudolph" said Kirk, "people expect you to have a red nose - without it you look ****** ridulous"!
