Runaway Ostrich Attacks Mercedes

<snip>

NICOSIA: A runaway ostrich that eluded police caused severe damage when it attacked a Mercedes car during a three-hour rampage.

"Somehow it got out of its pen. We sent two patrols after it, but in the meantime it caused some damage to the bonnet and bumper of a Mercedes before we caught it," a police official in Cyprus said.

The ostrich caused considerable damage when it pounced on the car, the daily Phileleftheros reported.

The ostrich is the largest of birds and can weigh at least 180 kg. It is also the fastest creature on two legs and can run up to 60 km per hour;

"It took us more than three hours to catch it," the police official said.
