Eight cop cars scrambled after escaped cows run riot in town centre
EIGHT cop cars were scrambled to a town centre — to move along a herd of loose cows.
Locals who saw the blue lights thought police must have been involved in a manhunt or serious crime.
But officers spent two hours trying to round up dozens of milkers roaming around Chipping Sodbury, Gloucs.
At one stage the startled cows hit a police car.
Local Steve Burden said: “I was thinking someone was being hunted, or a house had been burgled, but found it was cows.
“All of a sudden about 12 appeared and went across the road towards the pub and the kebab shop.”

Cops on foot finally rounded them up — at a cost of £2,000 in man hours.
Tracey Anstey said the cows ran past as she opened her door to an Uber Eats driver.
She said: “I did say to the driver I didn’t expect my burger to still be mooing.”
