A loose bull in New Jersey’s largest city found its way onto train tracks, snarling rail traffic for a while on Thursday before it was captured, authorities said.
The ruddy brown bull with long, dark-tipped horns stood on the tracks at Newark Penn Station, prompting a police response and holding up train traffic between New Jersey and New York Penn Station for nearly an hour, New Jersey Transit said.
Police officers eventually cornered the animal in a fenced lot about 4.8km away from the station, Newark Public Safety Director Fritz Fragé said. The bull would be sent to a local animal sanctuary, he said.
No injuries were reported, the director said.
