Swan captured from A40 in real-life Hot Fuzz moment

Police found a swan on the edge of a main road and took it to safety in a scene that mirrors Simon Pegg's spoof cop film Hot Fuzz.

Thames Valley Police Roads Policing posted a picture of the bird on Twitter in the back of their vehicle.

It said: "Found playing by the A40, Oxford - came quietly and was safely reunited with parents and siblings."

In the film police officers played by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost rescue a swan during a police chase.

Officers said the swan "came quietly" and was reunited with its parents and siblings

Sgt Nicholas Angel (played by Simon Pegg, centre) would probably approve of the swan rescue
