Three rogue cows have caused a headache for police after escaping from a paddock in Brisbane's north last night.
The animals wandered into people's backyards and onto a busy motorway causing traffic congestion at Bridgeman Downs.
Residents were in disbelief with the unexpected visitors, while police and paramedics parked in their street to assist with the capture exercise.
One of three cows who escaped from a nearby paddock proved difficult to apprehend and a man suffered a leg injury while he was helping with the attempt.
One of the cows caused a big backlog of traffic on Gympie Road.
Two of the cows were safely caught last night.
This morning it took more than two hours to capture the third cow.
