A 25-year-old man from Canberra has been treated in hospital after being kinghit by a kangaroo.

David Streigl was jogging up Mount Ainslie when he was suddenly confronted by a boxing kangaroo which lived up to its name by giving him a black eye and leaving him unconscious on the side of the road.

Luckily only a few minutes later a passing motorist stopped and picked the man up, waiting until he regained consciousness before taking him to hospital.
