There was a brief but chaotic scene when a large ostrich was seen running along a busy road, prompting the Saudi traffic police to respond. Drivers were startled as the bird sprinted through traffic, apparently escaping from an unidentified location.
Authorities quickly stepped in to protect commuters and the ostrich after witnesses recorded the bird avoiding cars. Officers were able to capture the escaped bird despite its speed, and there were no accidents or injuries reported.
The ostrich may have escaped from an exotic animal enclosure or a private farm, though it is still unknown how it got on the road. Now, authorities are looking into where it came from and trying to get it back to its rightful owner.
Social media users were amused by the unexpected “ostrich chase” and praised the Saudi traffic police’s prompt response as this unusual sighting swiftly went viral.
