A man in Florida is facing charges of aggravated assault after allegedly throwing an alligator into a fast-food restaurant.

Joshua James, 23, has been accused of tossing the live animal through a drive-thru window at a Wendy's restaurant. His mother reportedly said he wanted to play a practical joke on his friend, who worked at the place.

Mr James, from Jupiter, Florida, had found the alligator on the side of a road and lured it into the back of his truck, according to an incident report by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, cited by local broadcaster WPTV.

He then went to the restaurant in Royal Palm Beach, where he placed an order at the drive-thru window, received a drink and threw the 3ft (1m) long animal through the opening, the report said.
