Motorist battered by sausage
A motorist is recovering after his nose was broken when a frozen sausage was thrown through the open window of his car, ambulance service officials said.

The 46-year-old man was driving near his home in South Woodham Ferrers, Essex, when the "bizarre incident" occurred, said a spokesman for the Essex Ambulance Service.

"He was driving his car when the offending item came through his open window and hit him on the nose," said the spokesman.

"The man said he was making his way home after work and had the window down because it was such a nice afternoon.

"He said he saw a car coming the other way and felt a searing pain in his nose. He managed to stop his car without hitting anyone else at which point passers-by came to his aid.

"His nose was undoubtedly fractured and he had lost quite a lot of blood ... he decided not to go to hospital but has been left with a very painful and swollen nose.

"I feel very sorry for him - it must have been an incredibly lucky or unlucky shot to get the sausage through a moving car window. I have never seen or heard of anything like this before."

Police said they were investigating the incident on Monday afternoon and wanted to hear from anyone with information.

was it a pork sausage or a beef sausage .... the report doesn't say ... we should be told. Why hide a piece of vital information like that ... now ALL sausages are suspect ....

Maybe the sausage belonged to Wayne Bobbitt..!
