Bull spotted running loose around streets of Birmingham

Video footage shows animal charging past cars, with the council later saying it was in police care

Pedestrians in Birmingham were left questioning whether the statue guarding the Bullring shopping centre had come to life when a live bull was spotted running loose on the city’s streets.

Video footage shared online on Friday morning showed a large black bull with white horns charging around streets in east Birmingham. The bull could be seen galloping past cars on a road near a roundabout and running along pavements.
