Bull Escapes Handler at UK Service Station, Roams Car Park
The animal broke free from a trailer at Charnock Richard Welcome Break services on the M6 before disappearing into nearby fields.
A bull escaped its handler and ran loose through the car park of a service station on the M6 motorway in Lancashire on Tuesday morning.
The incident occurred around 8:10 AM GMT at the Charnock Richard Welcome Break services. According to eyewitnesses, the bull broke free from a trailer while being led out by its handler. The animal then charged around the car park.
"The owners tried to surround it and catch it, but the bull was having none of it," one eyewitness said. "The bull didn't seem angry or aggressive in any way - just happy to be free to give its owners the runaround."
Witnesses reported that the bull proceeded through a fenced area at the rear of the car park and into adjacent fields. Its owners were in pursuit, but it was not immediately clear if the animal had been recaptured.
