Sept. 22 (UPI) -- A mischievous pigeon caused trouble for employees at a British department store when it flew into a clothing section and evaded capture.

A video filmed Wednesday shows the "feathered customer" flying around he Marks & Spencer store near London's Marble Arch while a worker chases it with an umbrella.

The pigeon perches on a display mannequin out of reach of its human pursuer, but flies circles around the store when the worker reaches up with the umbrella handle.

The bird eventually comes to rest again on a high shelf, where the employee once again shoos it away with the umbrella.

"Out the door, out the door!" the man says as the pigeon takes flight, but the bird instead flies off in the other direction.

It was unclear whether the intruder was eventually driven out of the shop.
