Kangaroo Chased in Budapest by Police
Police pursued and captured a kangaroo in Budapest in the early hours of Sunday, the capital’s law enforcement HQ said on Facebook.

Police chased the kangaroo for 5-6 kilometres in the Csepel district in the south of the capital before capturing it in a blanket, without injury.

The police could not immediately determine from where the kangaroo escaped or the identity of its owner.

The marsupial was eventually taken to Budapest zoo.
