A massive 900-lb longhorn bull is now on the loose in the streets of Charlotte.
The incident began when the bull escaped during an attempted relocation on Monday. It broke free from its restraints after being startled during the massive thunderstorm. The owner and local CMPD officers attempted the corral and lasso the steer with no success.
Here’s a video of the massive steer running from its captors on the streets of Charlotte:
