Police tweeted, “Just in case you’re wondering: there is cow on the loose in Jamaica, Queens.”
Members of the police department’s emergency services unit roped the cow and took it back to the slaughterhouse.
A worker at the Jamaica Archer Live Poultry and Meat Market says the cow will be killed on Friday.
