The disturbing footage, which surfaced on social media this morning, shows the loose cow being struck by the vehicle, causing it to fall and skid meters down the road. As the cow attempts to get back on its feet, the car approaches again, hitting the animal a second time. The cow’s head and part of its torso appear to be trapped under the front of the vehicle as two officers exit the car. A second police car is visible on an adjoining street.

In response to the incident, Surrey Police announced that it would refer itself to the police complaints watchdog. The force explained that after hours of unsuccessful attempts to safely capture the cow, the decision was made to use a police car to stop it.
