Residents of Brussels were shocked after they saw three zebras roaming free on their streets.

The trio hit the streets of Brussels yesterday after escaping from a local ranch.

It is believed they used the Van Praet tunnel to walk to the centre of Brussels and then strolled along the canal.



Bernard Luyckx, a friend of the zebras' owner, told the BBC that the animals were apparently upset by the sale of some of their stable-mates.

"Some of the horses got sold and the other zebras got mad and trampled the gates and fled into the streets. Luckily there were no injuries, nobody got hurt, the zebras too."

The animals were eventually captured after a bizarre police chase, which involved five police cars.
