Uon Wednesday afternoon, October 21st, in Baltimore, in the North American state of Maryland, led to a combination of efforts between officials and the owner of the animal to be rescued safely. Before she was captured, she still fled into the forest and ‘thrown chaos’ on a highway.
“ Baltimore County police officers responded today [on Wednesday] to an unusual occurrence: a cow on the loose in a Pikesville neighborhood,” Baltimore County Police Department said in a Facebook publication.
When the agents arrived at the site, “the animal fled through the forest,” before “going to highway I-695.”
Then police Royster and Bailey “joined the cow owner” to locate it. And they succeeded: “Using a rope from one of the police cars, the agents helped the owner capture the cow.”.
The animal was “safe” until a farm employee arrived with a trailer to take the cow back ‘home’.
The incident ended with no injuries to record – and with Baltimore County Police Department thanking all those who helped with this “safe” outcome.
The moment the cow circled the highway was recorded and published by The Baltimore Sun. You can see it below:
