JACKSON, N.Y. — Authorities in New York are searching for a bull that escaped a livestock auction show.

WTEN-TV reports that the bull’s owner was unloading the animal from a trailer outside a livestock barn in Cambridge when it sprinted away Tuesday night. Police say the bull was almost hit by a car in the street.

Cambridge police and New York State Police are currently searching for the animal.

Authorities are warning people to stay away from the bull because it’s agitated.
