Cows have escaped a farm in Santa Lucija and are running along the main roads.

A video posted on social media shows at least four full-grown cows running through the roads as cars avoid the charging cattle.

Following the fish phenomenon in Xemxija as fish-farm Sea Bream landed on the roads from the turbulent sea, the cows caused further chaos in another part of the country. 

The reason for the escapade is as yet unknown.
