One of the most… bizarre… news headlines I’ve seen in a good while: Girlfriend ‘hit with alligator’.

And no, that’s not a typo:

A man in the US state of Florida was arrested after he allegedly used his pet alligator to hit his girlfriend.

David Havenner, 41, faces misdemeanour charges of battery and possession of an alligator, said the authorities.

Girlfriend Nancy Monico claimed he beat her with his fists and then grabbed the alligator and swung it at her as she tried to escape, said officials.

I just… have no words. And besides, anything I could say would be overshadowed by the utter weirdness of the event itself…
