Potato Attack Injures 3 In Scotland


Who came up with this half-baked idea?



An 18-year-old in Clydebank, Scotland, is facing three assault charges after allegedly chucking uncooked potatoes from a car at passing pedestrians, the Clydebank Post reported Wednesday. The teen’s name has not been released.



Two women and a 13-year-old girl were injured in the attacks, with the girl suffering serious facial bruising. Another of the victims, a 32-year-old woman whose name has not been released, told the Post that after the potato smacked her in the head, a tub of coleslaw hit her as well. She said the force of the potato made her initially think she had “been shot by a BB gun”



Police are searching for a second individual who may be involved.



The unassuming tuber has found itself in the midst of crime before. In April, a man armed with only a potato robbed a laundromat in Rhode Island and attempted to rob a convenience store.



And in 2012, a cold plate of mashed potatoes was at the center of an assault in a Florida restaurant.
