Police in Dundee pulled over a man for riding a space hopper while drunk on a busy main road.
Officers spotted the man taking the air filled toy down the dual carriageway towards a tunnel on the city centre ring road.
Eye-witness Jamie Shankland, 25, said the man tried to run away but police had "no problem" catching him.
"He looked very drunk and police had blocked the left-hand lane because he was on the road," he said.
"I had to pass slowly and, as I did, I saw another policeman walking up the tunnel to pick up a red space hopper.
"The look on the guy's face was priceless - you could just tell he was thinking: 'What have I done?'."
A spokesman for Police Scotland's Tayside Division confirmed a man on a space hopper had been stopped on the road, but no formal action was taken.
