In a scene straight out of a Hollywood western, a group of cowboys stepped in to save the day when a bull broke loose Monday and began a rampage in downtown Oklahoma City -- coming dangerously close to a hospital and bus station.
The 2,000-pound animal broke free from the Oklahoma City Stockyards, charged through city streets and chased people. One person had to jump into a river to escape the oncoming beast.
The animal, identified in an Oklahoma City police report as “Rodeo Bull,” made it more than 2 miles downtown before cowboys used lassos to help wrangle the bull, which collapsed and died after it was captured.
