Angry Greenwich Village residents are butting heads with a goat named Cocoa, who became famous in March when she was photographed eating at a Midtown pizzeria.

Cocoa (pictured) has recently been drawing huge crowds as her owner trots her through bar-packed MacDougal Street — much to the annoyance of locals and cops.

“We wasted 45 minutes hunting it down and another hour chasing down the legality of what we can do with him. I was pulling my hair out,” said NYPD Capt. Raffaele Petti of the Sixth Precinct.

Residents complained at a community board meeting that they just want the goat gone.

Cocoa’s New Jersey owner couldn’t be reached for comment.
