Cow wreaking havoc on the NEC in Newark.
Reports about the bull running on the tracks of Newark Penn Station started to come in a little after 10:30 a.m., according to ABC 7. It’s not clear how the bull gained access to the station, but WCBS is reporting that the animal likely escaped from a slaughterhouse.
Photos and videos uploaded to social media show the lost bovine wandering the station tracks as travelers look on from the platform.

In all seriousness, a bull stormed into headlines on Thursday after being shown in social media-shared footage roaming the tracks. As you might have guessed, having a whole damn bull on the tracks is indeed enough to interrupt business as usual, as would-be travelers were hit with delays as a result of this made-for-clicks development.
The bull eventually left the tracks and authorities searched for the roaming animal. Police told CBS New York that the bull was seen around Frelinghuysen Avenue near Victoria Street at approximately 10:45 a.m. Members of the Newark Police Emergency Services Unit and Port Authority Police Department helped to lead the animal into a fenced-in area, ending the morning search. Fox 5 has video of the bull being carried into a transport vehicle.
