Goose smashes through Nottingham taxi window
The animal was taken to a vet while the taxi driver has been left with a broken window to repair. …
It sounds like the quintessential wild goose chase – police called to reports a bird has smashed a taxi window.
But that’s exactly what officers in Nottinghamshire found on Monday.
The force posted a picture on social media of the glass-smashing goose perched on passenger seats in the back of the cab in Radford.
The animal was taken to a vet for a check-up while the unfortunate taxi driver has been left having to cover the costs of the broken window.
In a tweet, police joked the bird may have been trying to get to to Nottingham’s Goose Fair, an annual event which is taking place this week.
