LONDON — Dashcam footage of an escaped pig on the loose with police in hot pursuit was uploaded to Twitter by London traffic cops last week. <br /> <br />A have-a-go hero tried to stop the animal in his tracks but the pig proved to be an elusive little swine. <br /> <br />The hog shut down traffic for a short while, but the pork was eventually pulled and returned to its owner, according to police. <br /> <br />It’s like a remake of the movie Babe over in England right now, with runaway pigs cast as the protagonists in some truly crackling stories. <br /> <br />Last week, another pig stopped traffic in both directions on the M62 freeway in Yorkshire. Local newspaper the Yorkshire Post even covered the dramatic events in a live blog. <br /> <br />However, there was no twist in the tale and the pig was eventually hog-tied by the cops and sent home.
