CYCLISTS sprang into action to corner a disruptive swan on a major Oxford road.
A photo has emerged of the moment passers-by blocked off the bird in Woodstock Road on Thursday, with police and animal rescue teams both called to the scene.
Thames Valley Police previously said it was called to the area at about 5.30pm following reports that the swan was 'causing an obstruction' in the middle of the road.

The incident is thought to have happened near the junction of Woodstock Close, north Oxford.
