A witness reported seeing police, firefighters and ambulances responding Wednesday to South Road in Dunedin.

"This was a report of a body on the road, however it appears it was a mannequin," a Dunedin police spokeswoman told the Otago Daily Times. Police in London responded to a similar situation last year, when they responded to a report of a person in distress at an art gallery. Officers responded to The Factory art gallery in Dalston, where they observed a suspected corpse on the floor just inside the building's glass doors. Police broke through the glass and discovered the person was actually a dummy that was part of an art exhibition by artist Kollier Din Bangura.
