Rowing down a river on a nice summer's day might seem like a pleasant enough pastime – but this has certainly not been the case for some users of a route in Cambridge.<\/p>\n
A violent swan, now nicknamed Mr Asbo, has been chasing canoeists during a prolonged reign of terror on the River Cam, often attacking his unsuspecting victims and causing them to capsize.<\/p>\n
However, sailors may be pleased to hear the water bully will be harassing them no more after a team of brave volunteers took part in a secret operation to move him to another location, the Daily Mail reports.<\/p>\n
Officials applied for an emergency licence in order to carry out the action – and Mr Asbo will now have to look for other things to terrorise at an undisclosed location 60 miles away.<\/p>\n
John Wakefied, deputy manager of the Cam Conservators, said: "Over the last few years this swan has been behaving particularly abnormally aggressively by swan standards."<\/p>\n
