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

Plymouth Police D Section tweeted of the incident, “Not your usual prisoner!

“Report of a swan being removed from the harbour by a drunk male before it being involved in a collision on Mutley Plain.

“Taken to the vets where they are nursing it back to health.”
