His reign of terror in Cambridge finally came to an end this week after River Cam officials applied for an emergency license to allow them to legally remove him in a bid to protect river users.
He was taken to a secret location over 60 miles away following a secret operation involving a team of brave volunteers.
The feathered bully had regularly chased members of the public up and down the river, attacked rowers and capsized canoes.
Worried officials believed Mr Asbo posed a serious threat to public health and safety and decided to finally remove the notorious bird from the stretch of river after the attacks intensified.
Frightened rowers complained after being left with cuts and bruises following the unprovoked attacks and a large number are believed to have supported the bird's removal from the river, popular with Cambridge University students.
John Wakefield, deputy manager for local river authority the Cam Conservators said the swan had become 'abnormally aggressive'.
