Footage of an Australian police officer chasing an emu down a country road has gone viral. The flightless bird - native to Australia - was reported to police by locals in Nashdale after it was seen wandering onto a road, posing a potential danger to traffic and itself. Attempting to get the emu off the road, a young officer gave chase on foot but failed to catch his feathered target, despite speeding up at one point.
