In a town in Ohio, United States, a giant inflatable pumpkin that ended up in the middle of the roadway due to strong winds blocked traffic, forcing the police to intervene.
Last Monday, the pumpkin that served as a Halloween decoration at a residence on Wolf Street was cleared by Bay Village law enforcement to clear the way for stranded motorists, according to Cleveland media.
“Bay Village Police were dispatched to the area of Wolf Street and Saddler Street for a runaway pumpkin. Fortunately, no officers (nor any pumpkins) were injured during the incident,” local police quipped in a Facebook post.
In a video posted on social networks, we can see the plastic pumpkin literally swallowing a police officer who was trying to control it with difficulty, continued the local American media.
Two police officers tried in vain to push the inflatable pumpkin to the side of the road, while other colleagues of theirs grabbed the ropes attached to the pumpkin which was swinging in the wind to finally drag it out. the roadway.
