An elephant broke out of a Rome circus, causing panic and
drawing crowds of curious residents as she wandered around a
northern suburb before being cornered by police, Italian
press reported.
The elephant, named Mia, had almost reached a motorway exit
road after two hours on the run on Friday (local time) by the
time police caught up with her.
The circus owners recaptured her as she stopped at a
roundabout during a moment of indecision, the news agency
Ansa said.
