The white cow tried to hop over the metal fencing getting stuck halfway, much to its distress

This bovine beast couldn't moo-ve after getting stuck on a roadside barrier.

The white cow tried to hop over the metal fencing on a road near to the village of Montecorvino Rovella-Salerno in Italy and became stuck halfway, much to its distress.

But the animal eventually managed to wriggle free of the barrier - before running off back into the forest.

Mechanic Roberto Marano, 42, managed to capture the moment en route to the Italian mountain village.

He said: 'I was driving along a very windy mountain road in the direction of the village when I saw this cow.

'I was quite shocked to see him there and I had to catch my breath.

'I took out my camera and managed to get a picture before she managed to free herself and fled.

'I'm a keen photographer and I was thrilled to get a picture.

'However I am very pleased the cow escaped. It was clearly upset and struggling so it was a relief when it managed to get loose.'
