Bull runs wild in OKC, dies in Midtown

The escapee was described as 4 feet tall, with brown hair and black eyes, thick build and weighing 2,000 pounds, according to the Oklahoma City police report.

The suspect, identified in police reports as Rodeo Bull, whose residence was listed as 2501 Exchange Avenue, managed to escape the Oklahoma City Stockyards District on Monday night and charged through city streets before it collapsed and died in Midtown almost an hour later.

Police were called about a vicious bull about 9:45 p.m. that had escaped a pen in the Stockyards and charged a person near Exchange Avenue and S Pennsylvania Avenue, said police spokeswoman Megan Morgan.

The bull made its way downtown, nearing St. Anthony Hospital and the downtown bus station before it ended up in front of the Garage Loft Apartments on NW 13 between Robinson and Broadway avenues.

A person had to jump into the Oklahoma River to escape the bull, she said.

Another person was nearly crushed when it charged near NW 3 and Walker

Avenue, but the bull missed, according to the incident report.

The bull then rammed a police car near NW 3 and Dean A. McGee Avenue, the report states. Officers were able to corral the bull using police cars near NW 13 and Hudson Avenue about 10:25 p.m.

While being subdued, the bull collapsed and

died. Police reported the cause of death was unknown.
