Yahoo News Watch: Trains delayed by bull on the tracks at New Jersey's Penn Station
Dec. 14 (UPI) -- Commuters in New Jersey were delayed for about 45 minutes Thursday morning when an escaped bull made its way to the NJ Transit train tracks at Newark Penn Station.
Authorities said the bull escaped about 10:30 a.m. from a location near Newark International Airport and the bovine made its way down the NJ Transit tracks to Penn Station.
The bull fled back toward the airport on the tracks, but Newark and Port Authority police officers were able to corner it in a fenced lot and shoot it with a tranquilizer.
Police said a local animal sanctuary was contacted to transport and care for the bull.
