Police in Paterson, NJ, managed to corral a 1,400-pound bull that escaped from a slaughterhouse yesterday.

Chief John DeCando, spokesman for the police animal-control division, says the bull was being unloaded at ENA Met Packing when it broke loose and made a 10-block run.

Officers finally corralled and sedated the animal. No one was injured — but the bull was returned to the slaughterhouse.
