Agitated Cow Gets Loose on Major Deegan, Jamming Traffic

Once again, a cow has taken over the streets of New York City - this time running wild on the Major Deegan.

Chopper 4 footage showed an extensive traffic jam Tuesday afternoon as a result. The cow was captured and lashed to a light pole, though the agitated animal was at one point straining aggressively against the tether before apparently being tranquilized. 

The rampaging cow went on his escapade less than a week after a lamb got loose on the Gowanus. 

Tuesday's cow on the Deegan isn't the first bovine to get loose in the region:

• A cow spent an hour strolling on I-80 in Paterson last December
• A loose bull was corraled in a Brooklyn park in Oct. 2017
• An escaped cow rampaged through Long Island streets in Sept. 2017
