Believe it or not . . .
Fun-loving policemen filmed using a riot shield as a makeshift sledge were reprimanded for the prank.
A passer-by captured the moment Thames Valley Police officers arrived at the Oxford slope in a riot van. One is then seen clambering on to the shield and then travels down the hill towards a ditch, to the obvious amusement of his three colleagues watching.
Supt Andrew Murray, Oxford City commander with Thames Valley Police, said: "I have spoken to the officers concerned and reminded them in no uncertain terms that tobogganing on duty, on police equipment and at taxpayers' expense is a very bad idea should they wish to progress under my command."
