Three zebras have been spotted going on the loose in Brussels, Belgium.

The animals trotted through the streets after escaping from a local ranch, but were soon captured following an unlikely police chase.

Bernard Luyckx, a friend of the zebras’ owner, said 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.”

He said locals got “a free safari” on April 17.

The dazzle of zebras, to everyone’s delight, did at one point appear to cross a zebra crossing.
