A GANG of drunk Santas wreaked havoc in a New Zealand cinema at the
weekend, pushing families out of the way, ripping down posters and
shouting "ho, f*****g ho".
The crowd, thought to be students, ran into the Hoyts cinema in the CBD
of the South Island city of Christchurch on Saturday afternoon, the
Press newspaper reported.
Kate Gorman, 35, was waiting to see Enchanted with her two young children.
"At least 50 drunk idiots dressed up like Santa came in through the main
door," she said. "They were kicking things over, ripping down posters
and smashing everything in sight."
"They were all dressed as Santa and shouting 'ho f*****g ho'," she told
the paper.
Her children, Gabriella, 6, and Jackson, 7, had been confused by the
incident, she said.
"They asked me, 'are they Santa's helpers gone crazy?' and I said `no,
they are just idiots'.
The cinema was evacuated for 30 minutes while the gang was dealt with.
Police said there had been no arrests.
