Only In United Kingdom - Cow on The Loose Sparks Armed Police Chase

Cow roaming city streets sparks armed police chase
A wandering cow sparked an armed police chase after escaping from an animal park in Sheffield.
The lost Highland cow was spotted making its way through the Manor Top area of the steel city just after midday yesterday.
Three police cars and a firearms team were called to the scene but no shots were fired before the animal was recaptured.
‘I looked out of the window and saw all of the police first, then saw a cow wandering up my drive. I thought I was tripping!’ explained one local resident.

‘It wandered around the back of my car and as I opened the front door it actually tried to get in the house.
‘The coppers blocked the bottom of my drive with a car and there was a stand-off for a while as it stood chewing my plants. They brought a van up and it bolted off down the road.
‘Apparently it knocked an elderly lady over shortly after as she was trying to stop it.’
Insp Rebecca Chapman from South Yorkshire Police said she was unsure how long the cow had been on the loose.
‘It had been wandering the streets of Sheffield for some time and had become frightened,’ she said.
Animal park staff said the cow was one of a number that had escaped over the weekend.
