'Little donkey' on a dusty... dual carriageway
- Published
A member of the donkey species, yesterday
Police say they have helped a "little donkey" found wandering not on a dusty road two days before Christmas but a busy dual carriageway.
Rather than making hay on the A46 in Evesham, Worcestershire, the animal was instead holding up traffic.
Police, who saw the festive side, said officers intercepted to "shepherd" it back to the enclosure from whence it came, although "not via Bethlehem".
There is no word yet on whether the donkey was following a star.
It was, however, heading in the direction of Norton, police have confirmed.
