Well, this doesn't happen every day.
Cleveland police responded to East 123rd Street and Oakland Avenue in the Forest Hills area for a call regarding a loose bull in the street.
We now have additional details from police about what happened.
An Officer Fedorko, who has "experience from raising other livestock (multiple sheep, goats, chickens and one peacock)" was able to track down the bull based on "where he believed it would be 'bedding down,' and he found it in a wooded area of an empty field based on smell alone."
However, the bull fled from police until they wrangled it in the 1200 block of East 124th Street by trapping it in a backyard. They then waited for members of the department's Mounted Unit to arrive.
Mounted unit officers, as well as Fedorko, then used "their knowledge of farm animals to encourage the animal into the back of a horse trailer," authorities said.
The bull was then taken to the Mounted Unit's stables until its owner could be found.
Based on the ear tag, the bull's name is Punchy. If Punchy belongs to you, police are asking that you call 216-621-1234.
