A horse wandering on the M1 caused traffic chaos this morning.

Several police officers – one armed with a rope – tried to bring the horse under control as it left the motorway and made its way up the Donegall Road towards the Falls Road before reportedly being cornered on a side-street, the BBC reports.

The horse was filmed trotting down the city-bound carriageway just before the Broadway roundabout at about 10am on Thursday morning, August 25.

The horse has since been caught.
