A runaway zebra has been caught by police and airlifted back to his owner after absconding for over a week.

Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office in Tennessee said the zebra, named Ed, was finally tracked down on Sunday after several sightings.

Incredible video footage shared on the force’s Facebook page shows the bemused zebra being returned home by helicopter.

Ed was reported missing on 31 May and was spotted by motorists “scampering across the highways” on Saturday.

He “became an international sensation through social media memes throughout the country”, the sheriff’s office acknowledged.
