A touching rescue was caught on video as an officer from the Bradford Anti-Social Behaviour Bike team came to the assistance of a creature in peril.

The officer spotted a hedgehog in the middle of busy Harrogate Road in Eccleshill on Sunday, and stopped to assist the animal to a nearby grass verge. 

The incident was captured on the officer's headcam and later posted on the team's Facebook and Twitter pages.
