Toy robot pony left in street sparks bomb scare

Toy pony that sparked a bomb scare in Florida, America

Cannot play media. Sorry, this media is not available in your territory.

Toys aren't usually scary things, but a small robot pony left on a street in America sparked a bomb scare.

Someone saw the toy animal, called Butterscotch, in a cul-de-sac near a school and called the bomb squad.

No one's quite sure how it got there and investigators decided to take no chances and sent in a bomb robot to blow it up.

The toy was destroyed but no-one was hurt in the explosion.
