Man arrested for tackling giant sausage

A man was charged with criminal damage after rugby-tackling a giant hot dog, worth £400.

The 6ft glass-fibre hot dog was part of a burger van's display at the Magic of the 80s concert in Alnwick Pastures.



Concert-goers reported seeing the sausage character with its arm broken off.

Owners of the burger van say the mascot will cost at least £400 to replace if it cannot be repaired.

It was the only arrest made at the gig in the shadow of Alnwick Castle as police reported a quiet night at Saturday's concert.
