A poor mouse's head was stuck inside an internet port after it was caught stealing food and trying to run away.

Footage shows the mouse struggling to wriggle free from the hole in the wall as the house owner watched in amusement.

Casper Gallano Petrasanta, the one who caught the mouse, said: "I was happy and shocked at the same time because the mouse that has been stealing our food has now been caught."

The resident took pity on the rodent and yanked it out by the tail and set it free in the garden outside in Cavite, the Philippines on May 15.

Casper added: ''I felt sorry for the mouse but we can't have him in the house raiding our cupboards all the time.''
