Police officers rushed to help a person collapsed in an alleyway in south-east London, only to make an unexpected discovery.
Upon closer inspection, the heap on the ground in Lewisham was a large teddy bear, wearing a grey cardigan and holding a bottle of Coke.
Police, who made the discovery on Wednesday morning, joked the bear was "clearly a little worse for wear from the night before."
Posting a picture of the white cuddly toy on Twitter, Lewisham Safer Neighbourhood Team said: "Turns out teddy had too much to drink last night and couldn't make it home."
A spokesman for Lewisham Central Safer Neighbourhoods Team (SNT) said: "There was an alley way with a trolley full of goods at the entrance and there was something that looked like a person slumped over so we went to investigate.
"We found out it was a large teddy bear in a cardigan with a bottle of coke.
“He clearly he was a little worse for wear from the night before.
"Though at least it wasn't anything too serious."
