Pig hogs the road as police chase animal loose on A12
An escaped pig proved itself to be a road hog when it sent police and joggers trotting in its wake.
Police officers chased the porky runaway through lunch-time traffic.
One unsuspecting jogger was left dodging the animal who seemed to take a liking to his fluorescent clothing.
A Met Police spokesman said: "Police were called at 12.45pm on Wednesday, 12 April to the A12 in Redbridge, near the junction with Hainault Road, RM6 to reports of a pig on the loose.
"Officers attended the scene and the pig was safely recaptured and returned to the nearby land that it had escaped from."
