A bull which escaped in a Warwickshire village today (December 3) was put down, Warwickshire Police has confirmed.

Officers were called to Rugby Road in Brinklow this afternoon where the animal was on the loose.

The force said the decision was made to shoot the bull dead.

"Unfortunately, after considering options with a vet and local farmer the decision was taken for a trained farmer to shoot the bull dead," a statement said.

"This decision was not taken lightly.

"However, the risk to the public, road users and those dealing with the situation was considered too high for any other course of action to be considered."
