This is the odd moment police chase after a porta-potty that was being propelled through a car park by strong winds.

Dash-cam footage captured the bizarre pursuit reportedly taking place in New Buffalo, in the US State of Michigan, at around 9:00pm on 17th August.

The officers attempted to bring the situation under control as wind speeds reached up to 16mph.

The New Buffalo City Police Department humorously shared: “Some days being a police officer is a great job. Other days can be a little Crappy… tonight 1 of our officers had a quick pursuit with a runaway Porta-potty, luckily he was able to apprehend the suspect before things became messy.”
