Eight police cars blocked lanes one and two of the busy motorway to try and capture the pony.
The drama occurred just before 7:30am on Monday (17 Jun) during rush hour.
A driver stuck in the traffic filmed it in an eight-second video on their mobile phone.
The brown pony then trotted away, as reported on What’s The Jam.
It is unknown if it ran away or was caught by officers.
