Video footage shows animal charging past cars, with police later saying it was no longer at large
Pedestrians in Birmingham were left questioning whether the statue guarding the Bullring shopping centre had come to life when a live bull was spotted running loose on the city’s streets.
Video footage shared online on Friday morning showed a large black bull with white horns charging around streets in east Birmingham. The bull could be seen galloping past cars on a road near a roundabout and running along pedestrianised streets.
It was unclear where the bull came from or why it was running loose.
West Midlands police said: “We were made aware of a bull in the road near New Bond Street in Birmingham at just before 9.30am today. We’re liaising with Birmingham city council and other agencies to ensure the animal is taken to a safe location.”
