‘Unicorn’ Chased By Police For 3 Hours In Front Of Gobsmacked Drivers (VIDEO)

‘Unicorn’ chased by police for 3 hours in front of gobsmacked drivers.

A force helicopter was used to try and track down the spooked animal which evaded her pursuers by running across busy roads.

Drivers could be forgiven for thinking they were hallucinating after an escaped ‘ unicorn ‘ dodged through busy traffic while being chased through police.

A helicopter was used to try and track down the spooked animal which evaded her pursuers by running through orchards and across roads.

The California Highway Patrol said he received a 911 call from a confused driver on Wednesday afternoon about the unusual animal weaving through cars in the Madera Ranchos area of the state.

Officer Justin Perry told KMPH-TV: “We got a call of a unicorn running in the roadway on 12th Ave. near Road 32.

“I’ve been doing this for 14 years and this is my first call for a unicorn.”

The “unicorn” was actually Juliet, a pony belonging to Sandra Boos, who dresses her up for children’s parties.

She had escaped during a photo shoot with the horn and pink halter still attached to her head, UPI reported.

Sandra said: “I’m a photographer here in the Fresno area and a lot of little girls have had their dreams come true taking pictures with Juliet the unicorn.

“She threw her head up … [and] ran off and the more we pursued her the further she ran.”

Her son Tatum, five, was devastated when the animal went missing.

He told KLPCTV : “She got afraid and then she pulled it out of the guy’s hand and then she runned away.

“I was afraid, and then we had to catch her in the dark.”

The pony led residents and police on a three-hour chase that at one point involved the CHP’s H40 helicopter using heat-seeking FLIR radar to track Juliet.

A local with a horse helped police lure Juliet into a trailer.

Renee Pardy, who finally helped tame the beast, said the escaped pony had only been looking for a friend and found one in the other horse.

Sandra added: “I was standing with the CHP at the time and a call came over the radio that said the unicorn is in custody, and there was a huge sigh of relief, a few tears, and some laughter. It was the comedic relief needed in the moment.”
