An ostrich ran through the streets of Seongnam, south of Seoul, on Tuesday before being captured and sent back to an ecological park.

Police and firefighter authorities captured the animal at a factory building site nearby at 10:25 a.m.

No reports of injuries or property damage were made, officials said, adding the ostrich was safely returned to the park. (Yonhap)
