Rock star vs. hedgehog — guess who lost this run-in
Pete Doherty was trying to be a good guy following an unfortunate incident with a hedgehog. His reward was an infected wound on his hand that required a hospital visit.
The Libertines frontman was walking his two Huskies when they captured the tiny, spiny mammal. One of his fingers was then spiked as he tried to free the hedgehog from his dogs, according to Clash.
Doherty, 40, tweeted a couple of pictures from his hospital stay, including one that showed off his bandaged hand.

He thanked the hospital staff in another.
“A picture me in a hospital bed with an infected hedgehog spike wound thank you to the wonderful men and women who work within the NHS. What absolute angels and a million times they deserve our respect and thanks,” he wrote.

Doherty also said that he took precautions in retrieving the hedgehog by wrapping a shirt around his hand. It didn’t work.
