Police Officer Rescues Swan Tangled in Net in Finland

A police officer in Finland stripped down to his bare feet and skivvies to rescue a swan trapped in a fishing net in the Pielavesi municipality.

According to the Itä-Suomen poliisilaitos (the Eastern Finland Police Department), a citizen had reported an injured swan on Lake Pielavesi, off the island of Kirkkosaari, caught in a fishing net.

Footage shared by the police department, who said it was taken on April 21, shows an officer wading into the waters, placing a little hood over the swan’s head, and untangling it from netting. “Thank you!” an onlooker shouts as the swan swims away. Credit: Itä-Suomen poliisilaitos via Storyful
