Watch: Ohio Cops Tangle with Giant Inflatable Pumpkin

By Tim Binnall

An amusing dashcam video from Ohio shows police officers tangling with a giant inflatable pumpkin that rolled out into a road and stopped traffic. The unusual incident reportedly unfolded on Monday evening in the city of Bay Village when a storm swept over the area and unleashed the sizeable Halloween decoration. In the footage, an unnamed officer can be seen responding to the call and trying in vain to wrangle the enormous faux jack-o'-lantern that, at one point, rolls over atop the cop. Detailing the case of the curious call on social media, the Bay Village Police Department joked that "luckily, no officers (or pumpkins) were harmed during the event" and indicated that the decoration was "returned to the homeowner" once backup arrived to help take the inflatable piece into custody.
