Runaway goats cause chaos at train station in Spain
A herd of 17 goats caused something of a commotion when they made their way into a railway station and onto tracks in Catalonia on Tuesday morning.
Jordi Carrera of Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalonia (Railways of the Generalitat of Catalonia) said the goats were first spotted in a tunnel just before the station, and added: "Now we're trying to figure out exactly where they would have entered from."
According to the Guardian, security guard Antonio Jesús Martínez told El País the goats were "completely disoriented and frightened".
Over 40 minutes he used a whistle and his voice to guide the goats towards an unused track in the station.
He joked: "It was like I had been herding goats all my life."
The goat herder was finally located and he arrived to help lead the animals out of the station "one by one".
A number of passengers took to social media to share the strange scene.
According to the Olive Press, some of the goats ended up spending eight or nine hours in the station.
