Surrey Police say officers acted after multiple efforts to capture the cow failed and they were 'extremely concerned about the public's safety'.
An officer filmed deliberately driving a police car into a cow has been removed from frontline duties, Surrey Police have said. It comes after the farmer's partner told Sky News he should 'lose his job' over the 'disgusting' incident. 'I fully appreciate the distress our handling of this incident has caused and will ensure that it is thoroughly and diligently investigated,' Deputy Chief Constable Nev Kemp said.
As it seems to be trying to get back on its feet, the vehicle approaches for a second time. The cow's head and part of its torso then appear stuck underneath the front of the car as two officers get out. 'Cow may have swum river' Surrey Police said the cow suffered 'a large cut to one leg and cuts and grazes' and was being monitored by a vet.
