NZ Prime minister ‘sorry’ for pulling waitress’ ponytail

New Zealand prime minister John Key has apologised for pulling the ponytail of a waitress who accused him of bullying, media reported.

The unnamed waitress in an Auckland cafe said on a blog site that Key had pulled her hair over several months and initially she thought he was being “playful and jolly”.

However, she said Key kept pulling her hair when he visited the cafe over a six-month period and she became increasingly annoyed.
