A German policeman has been injured after he was kicked and punched by a dwarf kangaroo. The marsupial, which had escaped from a zoo in Verl, North Rhine-Westphalia, was spotted hopping on a nearby autobahn by motorists.

I suppose this misguided police officer had seen some cartoons about boxing kangaroos and thought he go a few rounds.

Kangaroos, dwarf or otherwise, can rip your belly out as fast as a tiger. They're not boxing - they're trying to get their great bloody claws in your family jewels !
