A rampaged cow in a German town has completely destroyed a greenhouse and damaged a motorcycle and a police patrol car.

Police described the cow in a report as "a very aggressive cow."

Police in the German town of Zand am Main said on Sunday that the anesthetic arrows used by a veterinarian was the only way to stop the raging cow in the town in Bavaria, southern Germany.

Police chased the cow for several hours using cars and a helicopter.

The cow was carried to the owner, police said.
