Cleveland police were involved in an unexpected high-speed chase Saturday after two police horses fled down the road.
Video obtained by the Ohio Department of Transportation showed a pair of police horses weaving in and out of traffic near the unit’s stables at 12:15 p.m.
In separate images from the opposite angle, the brave horses were seen trotting west in the east lane.
The two daring animals eventually stopped traffic on Interstate 90 in the downtown Cleveland area, as footage showed bewildered drivers stopping their lanes.
Police cruisers were seen chasing the stallions as they headed down an access ramp before disappearing out of sight on a side street.
The horses galloped back to the stables under the direction of a police car and an officer on foot.
