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.
