Police in Worksop have rescued an injured swan in a real life version of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost’s feathery antics in hit movie Hot Fuzz.
Officers were unflappable as they swooped in to save the wounded bird.
The rescue took place on Saturday.
Police officers from the Worksop North Neighbourhood Policing Team found themselves embroiled in a rather unique call to action: assisting the injured bird found on Royal Crescent.
After apprehending the slippery subject, officers ensured it received the care it needed, taking it to a local vet where it will be assessed before joining a wildlife charity for rehabilitation.
A police spokesman said: “It seems even in Worksop, no swan is safe from the law. Maybe next time we’ll need backup, perhaps Sergeant Angel and PC Butterman could lend a hand?”
