A driver who fled the scene of a crash was attacked by a group of emus after climbing into their field.Chef Dean Wade gave chase when two people left the truck and escaped on foot.
Mr Wade says he then saw the driver being attacked by a group of emus after he climbed into their field. Wiltshire Police said the driver of the pick-up truck had been arrested on suspicion of failing to stop, dangerous driving and causing actual bodily harm.The impact of the vehicle destroyed the shop-front, but fortunately the building was empty.Mr Wade, executive chef at the nearby Old Bell Hotel, said: "There was this massive screeching and we saw a car careering left, right and centre and then it smashed into a building. It was horrible.
The chase came to an end, Mr Wade said, at the border of the Malmesbury Animal Sanctuary, where a range of exotic animals are cared for."The emus were curious and they started pecking away at him, which he didn't take to. Then he ran off.The sanctuary declined to be interviewed but confirmed all its emus were unharmed and said they are "wonderful creatures".
