A bull that escaped from a slaughterhouse and led police on a wild chase through New York City streets has died.
Police corralled the bull in a backyard on Tuesday after a two-hour chase that continued even after the bull's hide was studded with tranquilliser darts.
A spokeswoman for Animal Care Centers of New York City says the bull died on the way to one of the agency's facilities.
Footage airing on WABC-TV showed the black bull trotting through a residential neighbourhood.
The nimble bovine eluded attempts to box it in between police vehicles by squeezing through narrow openings.
There were no reports of the bull causing any injuries during the chase, though it ripped the door off a car.
