PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A steer has been reportedly roaming the streets Rhode Island’s capital.
As reported by WJAR-TV, Workers with Rhode Island Beef & Veal said that a wholesaler lost control of the 1,600-pound cow while unloading it for slaughter.
The animal was first spotted by Tho Xaykosy, an Uber driver, as reported by the AP.
“It was about 2 a.m. I was on my way to pick up a passenger, and I look to my left, and there was a cow there, just hanging out, waiting for the red light! When it turned green, the cow goes! I was like …” Xaykosy said.
The cow eventually made it to Providence, where local law enforcement contacted the Department of Environmental Management and animal control.
Neither agency had the resources to capture or transport the steer.
Law enforcement said the animal was still on the run, the evening of February 4
