Video captures the moment a man wrestled an escaped emu in Devon before the bird headbutts him and flees back to its enclosure. The bird is thought to have escaped its holding in Salcombe before being tackled to the ground on a nearby road. James Barker, 46, filmed the confrontation between bird and man as he drove along the A381 on September 9. He watched as a man struggled to keep the exotic bird under control while it resisted his grasp.
