Man Killed by Turnip Thrown from Car
LONDON (AP) -- Police said Wednesday they were investigating the
death of a man who was fatally injured after being hit by a turnip
that was thrown from a passing car.
The attack apparently was carried out by a gang who toss
vegetables at random at passers-by. Another man suffered stomach
injuries in April after being hit by a cabbage, police said.
Leslie Merry, 56, died Sunday, nine days after he was hit in the
back by a turnip that knocked him to the ground as he walked near
his home in London's East End, Scotland Yard said. He had a broken
rib and ruptured spleen and died from respiratory problems.
``It sounds very amusing but clearly it is not because a man has
died and we are treating this very seriously indeed,'' police said.
