The home secretary has asked Surrey police to provide a “full, urgent explanation” after footage showed officers using a car to ram an escaped cow.
James Cleverly made the comments after footage posted online showed officers ramming the cow twice with their police car, while an onlooker is heard shouting: “What are you doing that for?”
The incident occurred on Friday evening after Surrey police received reports about a cow running around on a number of main roads in the Staines-upon-Thames area.
According to police, they received reports that the cow was charging at members of the public and had damaged a car.
The cow got back to its feet after the first strike, but the police car hit it a second time and appeared to come to a stop with the animal underneath the vehicle.
With help from locals, the cow was moved to a nearby farm during the early hours of Saturday morning.
