In England a jogger has been injured by a frozen candy bar.

The man was running along a main road in South Shields when an occupant of a passing car threw a rock-hard Mars bar at him. Police said the car then turned round, drove back past the shocked jogger, and its occupants threw another object at him before driving off.

The man suffered from a swollen ankle and an enforced break to his slimming campaign.
