Eight bulls escape Massachusetts rodeo, one still missing
Published in Weird News
(UPI) Eight bulls escaped from a rodeo event at a Massachusetts mall and all but one of them were later safely captured, firefighters said.
The North Attleboro Fire Department said crews were summoned when the eight bulls fled from the rodeo at the Emerald Square Mall about 12:30 p.m. Sunday.
A witness captured video of the bulls running through a parking lot and crashing through a chain-link fence.
"The bulls then fled south from the parking lot towards the woods behind BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse," the fire department said.
One of the bulls was recaptured shortly after the escape, and firefighters were joined by police and rodeo personnel in searching for the remaining bovines.
Six of the bulls were found trapped behind a fence at a home on Prescott Street in Attleboro in the afternoon Sunday, and they were safely loaded into a trailer.
One bull remained on the loose Monday.
"Community members should exercise extreme caution and not approach the bull if found," the fire department said.
No injuries were reported from the escape or subsequent chase. An investigation has been opened into how the animals escaped from the rodeo.
