The herd from more than thousands of sheep rushed into the city of Huesca in the northeast of Spain in the Pyrenees, Lenta reported quoting The Local.

One of the residents called the emergency services about 4:30 local time on Wednesday, June 8. He reported that sheep filled the center of the city. The police managed to round up the herd and take animals back to the shepherd, who did not even realize that the sheep had scattered. The operation took about three hours. Investigators shared details of detention on Facebook.

It became clear that sheep ran away from a pasture in mountains when their shepherd fell asleep.
