A suspect attempted to flee Devon police from the scene after an alleged crime but was later stopped by a herd of cows.
The black-and-white thermal imaging shows the man slowly walking as the pack of cows follows behind him through the field.
National Police Air Service tweeted the video on 6 December with the words: “Watch the moment a man on the run from Devon and Cornwall Police was herded up by a group of cows in Devon and mooved out of their field into the arms of waiting police officers.”
“However we did have to remind the cows not to take the law into their own hoofs.”
In the footage, the man is then caught by Devon and Cornwall Police.

Comments under the tweet continue with NPAS writing: “It was a high steaks incident – he was told to stop running but it clearly went in one ear and out the udder – great team effort as always”.
Many flocked to reply to the tweet and said: “He must have been Friesian in that weather. He could have done with a Jersey”.
Another user said: “Trying to escape?? How dairy…”
The puns continued under the tweet.
