Traffic came to a grinding halt in Leeds city centre this morning after a swan walked onto the road.
At 8.08am today, police received reports of a swan walking around in traffic in Wellington Street in Leeds city centre. Police Community Support Officers from the City Neighbourhood Policing Team attended to manage any highway disruption and contacted a swan rescue service who removed the bird to safety shortly before 9.45am.
One resident wrote on Twitter: “The street outside my work has been blocked off because there is a rogue swan flapping about leeds city centre!”
