hundreds of excited children before ending up in hospital after
falling out of their sleigh.
The boozy Father Christmas, 51, and his 31-year-old female
sidekick had clearly had a few too many before they arrived
to entertain youngsters at the local market.
After spluttering through a few carols and clumsily waving at
locals, they trotted off down a busy high street pulled by a
horse.
Unfortunately for them, they were beeped by a passing car
and the frightened beast reared up, catapulting them into the
road.
The worse for wear pair were left spread-eagled on the floor,
and had to be taken to hospital suffering from concussion.
But their Christmas hangover may not end there, because
police are looking at charing them with drink driving a horse-
drawn sleigh.
Passer-by Zdzislaw Molodynski who captured the scene in
Ustrzykach Dolnych, Poland, on camera said: "It was quite
extraordinary.
"They were supposed to have been an attraction at the local
market and lots of people were taking their children there to
go and see them.
"But instead they saw these two, who were clearly under the
influence, behaving like they had just come out of a nightclub
or something.
"Then a car started beeping them which threw the horse into a
panic.
"It reared up and sent them smashing into the wall on the
corner of the street.
"It was a mixture of 'Ho, ho, ho' and 'No, no, no'," he said.
Magda Dudzinska who had taken her seven-year-old son to
meet the Santa said: "I'm not happy they had a crash or are in
hospital, but I'm delighted we didn't get to meet them.
"Who knows what they would have done in that state. The
were clearly in no state to deal with children."
The pair were taken to local hospital suffering from
concussion.
Police spokesman Dorota Glazowska said: "Technically, they
were drunk while in charge of a vehicle on the road.
"We are looking at pressing charges."
