NYPD officers wrangle goat on the lam in Queens

SOUTH OZONE PARK, Queens (WABC) -- The NYPD got its goat early Wednesday, wrangling an animal that escaped from a slaughterhouse in Queens.

The goat was spotted running loose at 98th Street and 109th Avenue, behind MS 137, in South Ozone Park just before 7 a.m.

Police officers were able to catch the goat on the lam and return it to the owner.

There is no word if the goat has been spared its previous fate.
