Police officers in Plymouth have transported a swan to the veterinarian in the trunk of a car after they got reports that it was hit by a car.

According to Plymouth police, officers were summoned to the city’s Mutley Plain neighborhood.

Officers reported that a swan had been taken from Plymouth Harbour by a “drunk male” and had probably been hit by a car around two miles (3.2 kilometers) away.

The bird was taken to the veterinarian by police, who said that concerned citizens had wrapped a blanket over it.
