A sneaky goat got caught on camera raiding a police car before chewing paperwork and knocking an officer down.

An ordinary day at work for a cop in Georgia turned hilarious after a goat sneaked into her car and chewed up official documents.

The footage of the unusual incident now has people on social media in splits.

The officer had gone to a residence in the area to serve some civil papers.

But on returning to her patrol car, she spotted the goat inside, happily munching away on the paperwork in the car.

Body-cam footage shows the cop walking back to her car and seeing the goat through the window.

She then swings the passenger door open, attempting to scare the goat off by waving her arm around, saying:

"Get out, c'mon, get out, go."

The deputy — who had left her driver's door open — then walks around to grab the goat who continues to enjoyably eat through the files.

She manages to snatch some paper from under the animal's hooves before encouraging it to get out of the car.

However, as she attempts to wrestle the last piece of paper from its mouth, it head-butts her and knocks her to the ground.

She then gets back to her feet and chuckles. The footage ends.

After the bizarre encounter, the Douglas County Sheriff Department said the deputy wasn't physically injured.

The department shared a post about the incident on social media, writing:

"To explain what you are about to see, the deputy went to a residence to serve some civil papers."

"The deputy explained that due to the number of houses she visits daily, she routinely leaves her vehicle's door open because she has had to retreat on a number of occasions from vicious dogs."

"Never once did she expect or even consider what was about to happen this day!"

"Even though she was knocked to the ground, she was not physically harmed in the incident."

"At the end of the day, we all got a little laugh out of it, and we hope you do as well!"

The original footage has since gone viral, garnering more than 640,000 views and 8,000 likes and shares.

Thousands of social media users have also commented on the video.

Cracking a joke, a person said:

"I need one of those goats if I ever get papers served to me."

Another said:

"This is the best thing I have seen in a long time..."

While a third person said:

"You see we weren't lying to the teacher when we told them that 'the dog ate it.'"

"I remember as soon as I would get in the classroom, 'where's your homework'. LOL, and I would say, the doggy ate it."

"Well, in this case, the goat Ate My Homework teacher."
