There has been more than one incident in South Africa where we have witnessed wild animals running on the streets. 

From horses to zebras, we have had our fair share of entertainment on the streets of SA. 

But if you thought it only happened in South Africa, you would be wrong. In a video that has had people laughing out loud, we see a pig giving policemen a chase in the streets of New Jersey. 

A pig that escaped a local farm was videoed giving police a good chase in the township of Deptford, New Jersey. 

"A video shared by the police shows officers attempting to lasso the elusive pig while it squeals and evades capture.

Detective Sgt. Bob Jones humorously noted that chasing the pig for a quarter mile proved more challenging than expected." (Instagram)

After a 30-minute pursuit, the police officers eventually caught the pig. 

It was quite hilarious to see the pig test the police officers to their max. 

As much as it may be entertaining for people to watch, it could also have been quite dangerous for both motorists and the pig.
