- A video of a Central West NSW police constable chasing an emu off a country road has gone viral after being shared online.
The unusual police pursuit began when local officers received a number of calls about a tall flightless bird running across Cargo Road in Nashdale, west of Orange, and blocking traffic.
Chief Inspector David Abercrombie from the Central West Police District said the "keen, young" officer took what he thought to be the best approach to resolve the situation by chasing the bird off the road.
The incident was filmed by NSW Police and shared online this week, racking up more than 86,000 views.
"I'm just lucky it wasn't me," Chief Inspector Abercrombie said.
"If anyone asked me to chase an emu, it'd be more like watching a startled gazelle on Prozac.
"My speed would not be up to scratch."

- Australia's economy grew 0.4 per cent in the June quarter, slightly beating most economist forecasts and further raising the prospect of an interest rate hike as soon as this month. The economy grew 2.1 per cent over the past year to June 30, seasonally adjusted, according to the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics National Accounts. Treasurer Jim Chalmers says it's proof the Australian economy is as strong or stronger than every other major advanced economy but he did concede it is facing a number of challenges from flat productivity to high inflation and global volatility.
Household consumption grew 0.4 per cent in the quarter and contributed about half of Australia's overall economic growth during the three months to June 30. Discretionary spending was the driver, but the ABS said nearly half of the 1.4 per cent jump in the category was due to a surge in vehicle purchases.

- AMP's head of investment strategy and chief economist, Shane Oliver says the spike in global bond yields shows what bond markets think of the Trump administration's management of the US economy.
At time of recording, bond yields are sitting at around a 15-year high, above 5 per cent.
He says bond vigilantes have 'suddenly' come back to the fore, and many of the the reasons that interest rates have gone up in the US come back to Donald Trump.
"They're acting with their feet saying, 'look, if you're going to keep doing this, keep borrowing all this money, then we're going to get a little bit nervous and we may not lend you as much money' and that puts upwards pressure on bond yields," he says.
In Australia, bond markets were pricing in interest rates moving higher, with the Australian 10-year at a 15-year high today.
Mr Oliver says many of the factors behind rising Australian bond yields are global, and relate to the US.
