A man in his 60s who was arrested after allegedly having sex with a horse in a Feltham field is set to escape with a caution, Hounslow police said this week.

The suspect was questioned by officers on Friday, August 8, after drivers claimed they saw him performing an indecent act on the animal near the A30.

He was arrested on suspicion of bestiality and taken to Heathrow police station before being bailed to return.

Detective Inspector Jeff Minns said police had no intention of charging the man and were due to caution him for cruelty to animals.
