Runaway bull finds sanctuary after escaping Brooklyn slaughterhouse

New York City police have rounded up an unusual suspect - a young bull on a football pitch. Police say the Brooklyn bovine was spotted at Prospect Park.

The bull, named 'Shankar' according to sources, was herded into a police horse trailer about two hours later and headed toward rescuers on Long Island.

Aerial video showed the bull wandering around the field, staring back at people lined up along a fence and occasionally breaking into a jog.

Goodfellas actress Debi Mazar shed more light on the story with this post on social media:
