Udder Chaos! Runaway Cow Leads Police on Wild NY Chase

We've seen some pretty wild police chases across parts of New York, but this one might take the cake, or should we say, the hay?

That's because a four-year-old Highland cow named Maggie caused quite the commotion in Putnam County after escaping from a local farm and leading police on an unforgettable pursuit.

And yes, there's video below.

Maggie Makes a Run for It

Last week, according to the New York Post, Maggie escaped from Little Cabin's Farm in Carmel after getting spooked and wandering into the woods.

For four days, her owners searched for the runaway cow, who apparently wasn't quite ready to return home. Eventually, local police spotted Maggie trotting along a busy roadway, with police vehicles following closely behind.

In the video shared to the Lake Carmel Community Facebook group, motorists react in disbelief as the fluffy, long-horned fugitive makes her way down the road.

Police Attempt a Cowboy-Style Capture

At one point, an officer reportedly attempted to lasso Maggie, turning an ordinary police response into something straight out of Yellowstone. Thankfully, the adventure ended without tragedy.

Warning: The following video contains some colorful language from an understandably excited bystander who couldn't quite believe what he was seeing, so viewers should use discretion!

Maggie Is Finally Home!

Little Cabin's Farm confirmed on Facebook that Maggie was safely returned home and reunited with her calf. The farm was very gracious, thanking local police and community members for helping bring their four-legged escape artist home.

No word on whether police issued her a ticket for failing to moo-ve over.
