On Wednesday evening, an escaped ‘unicorn’ sparked a four-hour police car chase in Madera, California.
True story.
The mythical beast actually turned out to be a white pony dressed as a unicorn, which had escaped from a children’s party.
The pony led California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers a merry (dare we say it, magical) dance for four hours, as it trotted through traffic, wearing a pink halter and horn. It first made a break for it at 2.30pm but was quickly returned to the party. However, it escaped again at 5.30pm before being recaptured later that day.
