Pig escapes down Arkansas Interstate

An amusing video has emerged of a large pig escaping down a highway in Little Rock, Arkansas on Thursday morning.

Police officers had to chase down the pig after it had run loose along Interstate 30, stopping traffic in both directions.

Patrol cars were used to corner the animal before it was eventually tackled to the ground and taken away.

It is as yet unclear where the pig came from or how it managed to get onto the road
