Defence Minister Ron Mark has admitted to getting into a scuffle with a man who took his signature cowboy hat at a concert.
Mark says he was at a Fleetwood Mac tribute show in Carterton on December 7 when a drunk man snatched his Stetson.
"I asked for it back.He refused. He played silly games, hid it behind his back and I grabbed him by the shirt. He eventually gave my hat back," the New Zealand First MP told reporters on Tuesday.
