Oklahoma police run toward screaming man, find goat instead

No baa-d ending here.

Oklahoma police rushed to rescue who they believed to be a man screaming for help — but to their surprise, the source of the cries ended up being a goat.

Hilarious bodycam footage captured two Enid cops walking down a field toward the faint sound of someone yelling, “Help.”

“I think that’s a person,” one confused officer said.

After another anguished scream, officers David Sneed and Neal Storey both broke into a run directly toward what they thought was a man in distress.

The yelps — which sounded deep and similar to the voice of an adult man — became louder and closer together as the brave officers ran in the direction of uncertainty.

In spite of what they “herd,” Sneed and Storey quickly realized their damsel in distress was a pissed-off barn animal.

“It’s a goat,” Sneed said.

“It’s a goat?” a confused Storey responded before laughing: “Ah, it is!”

The silly billy was upset that he had been separated from his friends, the farmer explained to law enforcement.

The property owner greeted and laughed with Sneed and Storey outside the goat’s pen as it continued to shriek, prompting the farmer’s dogs to join in on the noisemaking.

“Sometimes a call can really get your goat,” the Enid police department said in a statement.

“Thank you, gentlemen. Your swift actions (although in the end not necessary) are appreciated by us all.

“All in all, you really can’t say it was that baaad of a call.”
