Major update on escaped cow left badly injured when it was rammed twice by cop car in shocking act of violence
A CALF is back on her feet after being rammed by a cop — and yesterday got a visit from The Sun.
Beau Lucy is recuperating after suffering cuts and grazes with a large gash on her leg when a 4×4 hit her twice.
Sickening footage showed her flung about 30ft before she was trapped under the Ford Ranger’s bumper in Feltham, West London.
The ten-month calf roamed for more than five miles after escaping on Friday from Staines Moor, Surrey.
The officer who was driving has been removed from frontline duties as a probe gets under way.
Meanwhile, Beau Lucy is back home, where The Sun visited with a “get well soon” card.
Her owner, known only as Rob, said: “She’s limping, sulky and bruised.
“We are hoping no damage has been done internally. When we got to her there was no way anyone could examine her.
“She was feisty and upset — scared witless.”
He added: “I’m angry, upset and disgusted. We did think they were trying to kill it.”
His wife added: “Why didn’t they get a vet and use a tranquilliser?”
Home Secretary James Cleverly accused officers of being “unnecessarily heavy-handed” while the RSPCA said that the police action “appears disproportionate”.
The Surrey force has referred itself to the police watchdog.
It said: “Officers were extremely concerned about the public’s safety and over a number of hours tried a number of options to safely capture the cow.”
