A police officer's released footage of the moment he came face to face with a wallaby last week.
It comes just days after a Freedom of Information request to the Constabulary revealed it had dealt with nine incidents in four years involving the marsupials.
Sergeant Tony Lawler posted video to Twitter in the early hours of Saturday morning.
He spotted the animal in Onchan, in the middle of a road before it bounced off into the darkness.
Only on the #isleofman can you go from a foot chase and arrest to finding the #Onchanwallaby sat in the middle of the road. #iompolice pic.twitter.com/J7mDQSEAy2
