Police say Dunedin St Pat's Day one of the worst they've seen
Several young women needed medical treatment after being hit by flying bottles on St Patrick's Day and police are pushing for a ban on the sale of alcohol in glass bottles at liquor stores in the student quarter. An investigation is also underway into the burning of a wallaby and several other deliberately lit fires. Senior Sergant Anthony Bond decribed to Lisa Owen the marathon of student drinking that kicked off well before dawn.
