A man has been charged with taking an “untethered” pig into Norwich city centre.
Norfolk Police said the animal was found “running around” a busy street with a dog, which bit an officer.
Sergeant Mark Shepherd posted a photograph of the pig on Twitter after it was caught, writing that he was “lost for words”.
Officers were called at 10.10am on Wednesday to “reports of a man shouting and using aggressive language towards members of the public” on Prince of Wales Road.
The busy street is home to a number of nightclubs and takeaways.
“On arrival, one of the officers was bitten by a dog which was with the man,” a force spokeswoman said.
She added: “A pig was also running around with the man and the dog.”
Thomas Murphy-Hankin, 27, of no fixed address, was arrested and charged under section 155 of the Highways Act with having a pig untethered and loose on a public highway.
He was also charged with allowing a dog to be dangerously out of control in a public place.
He was due to appear at Norwich Magistrates’ Court on Thursday afternoon.
