Goat ran across live M5 motorway lanes before being caught by police

A goat that was running loose across the M5 motorway has been caught by police and returned safely to its field.

In a tweet from the 'Glos Police Specialist Ops' account yesterday afternoon (May 4) the goat could be seen in a photograph alongside an officer dubbed a "specially trained dog and goat handler". Both were stood behind the barrier on the side of a busy stretch of the motorway, underneath a bridge.

The caption described the goat as a "4 legged menace" and the events as "something a bit different".
