This officer has noticed something strange and is headed to intervene.

Equipped with fingerless gloves and a net, Officer Dixon is ready to rescue a troubled gull stuck on the pier in the city of Sarasota, in the US state of Florida on 17th February.

He carefully approaches, and captures the gull in no time.

He then releases it from what seems to be a rope tied around its wing and helps the troubled fella stand back on its two feet.

Before the officer manages to perform a grand release, the bird spreads its wings wide and takes off into the blue sky.

A good deed ended in a good laugh for these Florida cops!
