Call it the Running of the Bull: Vegas Edition.

A bull got loose and roamed the streets of central Las Vegas for several hours early Wednesday before the beast was captured by animal control officers, city officials announced.

“The bull is safely in the trailer,” the City of Las Vegas tweeted from its verified account. “Huge thanks to our #lvanimalcontrol team.”

The animal was initially spotted at about 3 a.m. at Turquoise Road and Silver Lake Drive, near the Las Vegas Golf Course. It was later apprehended just before 7 a.m. at a home on Ophir Drive near Washington Avenue and Martin Luther King Boulevard, police told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Lt. Carlos Hank told the newspaper that said animal control officers and cops from the Henderson Police Department assisted with getting the bull corralled. Using a helicopter and several patrol units, police managed to track the bull’s movement before tranquilizing the animal. One resident even helped out by giving the bull some alfalfa sprouts to help calm him down, Hank said.

“It’s all about communication and control,” Hank told the newspaper. “We just basically managed the situation, stayed calm and provided a calm environment so the animal wouldn’t go crazy and run into anyone or anything.”

Police were still trying to determine where the bull escaped later in the day. City officials said that the animal was headed to a veterinarian and would then be taken to an equestrian center until its owner can be located.
