A cow trapped in a trailer was rescued after emergency crews used hydraulic cutting gear to free it.

Ramsey fire crews along with a specialist animal rescue team from Douglas were called out on Christmas Eve (Tuesday) at 12.30pm to Lezayre Road at Glen Tramman, in Lezayre, where they found the cow had got itself stuck hanging out one side of the farm trailer.

The animal was able to walk away unharmed from the incident after the firefighters got to work using the cutting gear and other equipment.
