Just how terrifying do you think a tiny rat can come across as? You’ll probably be startled a little. Okay, maybe you will let out a little scream, but if you are a brawny, well-built police officer, there really aren’t a lot of chances that you will run away in fear! Well, proving a lot of us wrong is a police officer in uniform, running away from a rat. Touted as a CCTV capture from the St Petersburg Police Department in Florida, this video – that’s doing the rounds in social media – shows the brawny officer’s rendezvous with a tiny rodent, in which not only does he run away from it, but also comes back treading steadily and slowly to check if the rat is still around.
