Moo-ve! Escaped cow charges at road officer tasked with trying to get it back into its field

This cow gave a police officer a run for his money after chasing him across a main road.

In hilarious footage an officer with Road Policing Scotland is seen being tailed by the charging cow he originally set out to rescue.

PC Ross had been tasked with luring the farmyard animal out of a ditch it had become stuck in and back to its field. 

In the footage taken by his patrol car’s dash cam PC Ross can be seen approaching the ditch as heavy rain falls.

But before he can reach the cow, it comes to him. Charging up the slope at the Police Constable.

PC Ross turns and runs for safety, leaping across the tarmac of the road.

Luckily, the cow peels off and gives up its chase but not before giving the officer the fright of his life.

Road Policing Scotland posted the hilarious video to Twitter, where is has bee liked 2,800 times and retweeted over 800 times.

The video was captioned: ‘Sunday blues?! Here is PC Ross & his udderly amusing attempt to direct an errant cow back to its field!

‘Pleased to report that neither PC Ross or any animal were harmed during this incident & despite some initial reluctance the animal returned to its field.’

The forces signed off the tweet with the hashtag #keepingroadsclear.

One commenter said: ‘Is this sort of thing covered in police training?’

Another pithy user added: ‘I bet his relatives will be milking this for ages.’

And another remarked: ‘I can’t make out if this can be classed as ‘obstructing a police officer’ or ‘wasting police time’ but I think someone should be charged!’
