According to BBC UK, a substantial bull was observed loose at a motorway service station in Lancashire. The incident occurred around 08:10 GMT when the bull managed to break free from its handler while being led out of a trailer at the Charnock Richard Welcome Break services on the M6.

One eyewitness reported that the owners attempted to surround and capture the bull, but the animal resisted. The witness noted that the bull did not appear aggressive or angry, but rather seemed pleased to be free and was giving its owners a chase.

Witness accounts indicated that the bull subsequently exited through a fenced section at the back of the car park and entered fields situated behind the station. The bull's owners continued to pursue it, and it remains unconfirmed whether the animal has been recaptured.
