A herd of cows posed a risk to the public after making their way into a park in Leicestershire, police said.

Officers were called to Jubilee Park in Blaby on Sunday after receiving reports that the cows were on the loose at the visitor spot.

Police said despite being told there was a "small number", there turned out to be a group of 30 cattle.

They said that they were a "cause of concern" due to dog walkers and families using the children's play park.

A post on Blaby Police's Facebook page said: "After a bit of running around and herding and enquiries completed around where they had come from and who they belonged to, the owner came and brought the cavalry and put our herding skills to shame."
