West Mercia Police have thanked members of the public who helped to move a loose cow earlier today.

A spokesperson for West Mercia Police said:

“Following reports of a cow taking a stroll down West Malvern Road, we have attended and, after a bit of wrangling, persuaded the cow to move back onto the hill until the farmer arrived to take charge.

“Many thanks to the members of the public who stopped to help. No animals were harmed during this incident.”
