A woman in the throes of passion risked being arrested as a terrorist after an elderly neighbour reported hearing her shouts of "ISIS is good, ISIS is great" during sex.

Worried someone was about to give birth to a terrorist plot, the 82-year-old woman reported the unusual cry to police.

But instead of rushing to the scene, officers at the Brown Deer police station in Wisconsin, USA, suggested she keep an ear out along the street in case she heard any other pro-militant moans.

Brown Deer Police Chief Kass could not resist taking to Twitter to suggest the neighbour should have kept her unusual experience to herself.

He tweeted it was all "maybe taking 'see something, say something' a little too far?"
