A cow that got wedged between two metal posts has been rescued by firefighters.

The animal trapped itself in the small gap in a barn, at a farm near Thame, Oxfordshire, on Monday.

Teams from Thame Fire Station and Kidlington Rescue Tender attended the scene along with a vet, who sedated the cow so that they could get to work.

One of the posts was "carefully" cut away and the cow was released, Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service said.
