Full Contact Christmas Carol Singing!

This is called getting into the holiday spirit in Australia:

A SYDNEY police officer has Tasered a man during a Christmas carols event after being punched in the face and surrounded by an angry crowd. Patrolling officers were required to assist when a number of altercations broke out at a Carols by Candlelight function at Five Dock, attended by about 4000 people last night.

“About 10pm, further police were called to the venue due to the swelling crowd and reports that a teenage girl had been assaulted,” police said.

It is believed the incident led to a number of men attending the venue, two of whom allegedly became aggressive toward others in the crowd and were approached by a sergeant, police say.

“One of them allegedly turned on the officer, punching him in the face,” police said.

“The policeman, who at this stage was surrounded by the volatile crowd, Tasered the man, bringing him under control and diffusing the situation.”  [AAP]
