OTTAWA (AFP) -
Police in Toronto, Canada's largest metropolis, on Thursday shot a rampaging cow that had fallen off a truck and backed up morning rush hour traffic.


The steer injured two people and repeatedly charged at police after a trailer carrying it and several other cows flipped over on a freeway, Ontario Provincial Police Constable Dave Woodford told reporters.


After four hours of trying to corral the 1,000-pound (450-kilogram) animal, an officer finally took it down for safety reasons, using his service revolver, he said.


When the trailer tipped over, three other cows and a bull were suddenly freed and fled onto the highway, causing chaos and forcing police to shut down the busy roadway for about an hour while they tried to get the animals off to the side.

Police in South Africa impounded a Fiat Uno car that was being used to transport two cows and two goats.

Police spokesperson Captain Jabulani Mdletshe said residents of the Phelindaba area reported seeing a man loading a cow into the Fiat.

By the time the two officers arrived, the driver had loaded his vehicle with all four animals and was attempting to speed away.

Police gave chase and, realising he was not losing his pursuers, the man stopped his car and fled into the bushes.
