A man in Norwich, UK, has been charged with walking a pig without a lead.
Norfolk police responded to an incident on Wednesday and found a pig "running around" with a dog on Prince of Wales Rd in Norwich.
Police say they were initially called to the scene because of
reports that the man was being abusive to members of the public.
He ended up being charged under Section 155 of the Highways Act 1980 with "having a pig untethered and loose on a public highway".
An officer dealing with the incident said he was "lost for words", according to the BBC.
