Escaped bull gatecrashes neighbour's pool party

To celebrate the completion of his new swimming pool, businessman Jamie Stewart invited a few friends and family over for a dip.



But the last thing the bemused host expected was to be disturbed by a gatecrasher - in the shape of a half-ton bull.

The massive animal had escaped from a nearby field and was being chased by farm-hands when he crashed into Mr Stewart's garden - and dived headlong into the water.



And since such a large beast could hardly use the step-ladder to climb out, he was forced to tread water for the next three hours until firemen could drain away the water and hoist him back onto dry land.
