This may have been the most unexpected stray animal call that police in Ohio received early Friday morning.

Police say a driver traveling down Lorain Road in North Ridgeville reported that a kangaroo was in the middle of the road hopping around at 5am.

Three North Ridgeville police officers responded to the motorist's bizarre call and were surprised to actually see the animal in the middle of the road.

It was just 'doing whatever kangaroos do,' a post about the incident on the police department's Facebook page reads.

Escaped: North Ridgeville police officers responded to a call about a kangaroo in the middle of the road hopping around at 5am on Friday

The officers were able to capture the runaway kangaroo named Foster. However, he didn't go down without wanting a fight against Patrolman Metzo (above)

The officers were able to successfully retrieve the escaped kangaroo named Foster.

However, he didn't go down without wanting a fight against Patrolman Metzo.

One of the officers snapped a photo of Metzo standing near Foster, who is in his best boxing stance.

'Luckily, cooler heads prevailed and Foster called it a night before it came to blows,' the Facebook post reads.

Foster (above) belongs to Candice Phillips, who owns Little Big Farm in North Ridgeville. The rescue animals on her farm range from Clydesdale horses to other exotic animals in need of help

The woman said she rescued Foster when he was a baby and shared that she would bottle feed him while carrying him around in a pouch because he was so tiny

With proper permits, residents in the city are allowed to have a kangaroo, according to the police department's Facebook post.

According to KLTV, Foster belongs to Candice Phillips, who owns Little Big Farm in the city.

The rescue animals on her farm range from Clydesdale horses to other exotic animals in need of help, KLTV reported.

The woman said she rescued Foster when he was a baby and shared that she would bottle feed him while carrying him around in a pouch because he was so tiny.

Phillips also said that Foster lived inside of her family's home in his own room until he grew too large.

Now, he lives in a pen that has a heated habitat.

She is unsure of how he was able to escape since all of the eight-foot fences are locked and also too high for him to jump over.

It's unclear when Foster first escaped or how long he was roaming the streets for, but he did not suffer any injuries.
