Two loose cattle on the run in Whanganui have now been dealt with, but not before a police officer was charged down.
At one point one of the cows was at a New Zealand Army facility on Maria Pl near Whanganui central.
A witness near Whanganui Resource Recovery Centre across the road saw the cow as it charged at the police officer on Monday morning.
"This thing just charged him," she said.
She said she saw the cow go down the street before the flashing lights of the police arrived.
