Watch footage of 8ft dinosaur being chased by laughing cops through city centre streets

Dashcam pictures have been released of a fancy dress reveller as he struggles to keep his feet while he is followed by laughing cops

The scene resembled something from a comedy version of Jurassic Park, as the prehistoric prowler headed close to the Royal William Yard area of Plymouth on Saturday night.

The high-spirited antics resembled something from a comedy version of Jurassic Park, as the prehistoric prowler headed close to the Royal William Yard area of Plymouth on Saturday night.

Impressed by his speed in a costume which looks about 8ft high, one officer said: “Makes you wonder how they became extinct don’t you.”

The 30-second clip ends with the dinosaur turning menacingly towards the camera outside the entrance to the yard, Plymouth Live reports.

But it appears the officers survived to tell the tale and were able to tweet a clip from their dashcam.

They said: “Let’s hear your best why did the dinosaur cross the road jokes.”
