There’s nothing venerable news program ACA loves more than your angry neighbour dispute.

However, a story last night turned even more vicious when the reporter covering the latest neighbourly ding-dong got soaked with a garden hose.

Reporter Sam Cucciara was attempting to interview residents of a housing estate that a disabled neighbour claimed had menaced her to such an extent she was too scared to leave her house.

Instead of indulge in polite on-air patois, the neighbours simply turned the hose on Cucciara who, to his professional credit, soldiers on marvellously.

The journo later tweeting of the incident: “Well I can’t say this has ever happened before.”

B&T’s unsure if Hugh Marks has received the bill for dry-cleaning or if the incident contravened current water restrictions. Check out the watery action below:

TONIGHT on #9ACA.
These public housing tenants are terrorising their neighbours so much, they're scared to even leave the house. pic.twitter.com/PY3VHXCfhU
