Cop struggles with a huge Halloween pumpkin and gets covered by it.

As the night settled over the quiet suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, a police officer received a rather unusual call. Dispatched to the intersection of Wolf Road and Saddler Road, the officer was informed that there was a "runaway pumpkin" causing quite a commotion. With a dashcam recording the entire incident, the officer approached the scene cautiously, unsure of what he would find.

As he drove down the drizzling and windy streets, he finally came face-to-face with the culprit - a giant inflatable Halloween pumpkin. Standing at least twice as tall as the officer, with lights flashing inside and sand weighing it down, the decoration seemed to have a life of its own. Undeterred, the officer stepped out of his vehicle and walked towards the pumpkin, ready to confront it.

But as he raised his arms to stop it, the unexpected happened. The inflatable pumpkin rolled over him, briefly burying him under its massive size before coming to rest against the front bumper of his car. Thankfully, the officer emerged unharmed and quickly called for backup. Together, they managed to detach the pumpkin from the car and drag it off the road and onto a nearby lawn.

In a rather humorous twist, the police department shared the dashcam video on their Facebook page, titling it "Bay Village Officer Attacked by Halloween Display!!" The post garnered quite a bit of attention, with many finding the whole ordeal highly entertaining. "It ate the officer!" one user commented, while another joked, "In my best Gene Wilder voice... 'It's alive!'" Others were just grateful that it wasn't a "bunch of those awful skeletons" causing trouble.

But this was not the first time that Halloween decorations had caused a stir with the police. In fact, just a few weeks earlier, a Dallas man's gory decorations, complete with fake blood splattered on his front porch, had prompted concerned neighbors to call the authorities.

In the end, the officer managed to wrangle the runaway pumpkin and return it to its rightful owner. And despite the momentary scare and some amused onlookers, the police department assured everyone that "no officers were harmed during the event." Another successful Halloween mission for the Bay Village Police Department.
