Blast from the past: Leprechauns on the attack??

Not only are Leprechauns stingy with their gold, but apparently they will also beat the shamrocks out of you if your dancing with a woman. On June 19 in 2012 a man claimed that he was beat up by a group of leprechauns and his reason was that he was dancing with a woman and they didn't like it.

When the police arrived at the scene of the Leprechaun beat down, they saw many people running , one person said the man was attacked by a group of men. Yet this guy is saying he had been beaten by leprechauns, the end result of this beating was cuts and bruises along with a lot of blood.

So I'm thinking the guy was a wee bit drunk and hit on the wrong gal and her boyfriend got some of his pals together and BOOM! Maybe next time the leprechauns will leave him a bit of gold for his pain and suffering... nah that's not very leprechaun like at all.

BTW.. Do Leprechauns dance or do they stagger around in "dance" like drunkechauns? Curious minds want to know.. ya know??
