Now here's something you don't see every day.
A wayward bull was found wandering the tracks near Newark Penn Station in New Jersey, and shocked commuters made sure to, umm, steer clear, of the situation.
On Thursday, the NJ Transit social media pages alerted locals to the alarming disruption to its transportation service they identified as "police activity" with the following message:
"NJ TRANSIT rail service is subject to up to 45-minute delays between Newark Penn and PSNY, due to Police activity near Newark Penn Station."
"NJ TRANSIT rail tickets and passes are being cross-honored by PATH and Hoboken, Newark Penn and 33rd Street New York."
The attached photo identifying the problem was of a bull, looking totally out of place.
The runaway bull ran south for about two miles, staying mostly on the rails, from Newark Penn to Frelinghuysen Avenue in Weequahic Park, according to CBS News.
The bull run ended after the animal was subdued with a tranquilizer and carried to safety in a trailer.
Chrishetce Robinson, a commuter who witnessed the wild scene, recalled how challenging it was for professionals to secure the steer.
Robinson told the outlet:
"He was trapped inside there. They had to close the gate. Then he was trying to run out. Then, every time he tried to come out, they was running, because, you know, them horns."
Mike Stura of Skylands Animal Sanctuary & Rescue arrived at the scene to retrieve the tough steak.
He told the news outlet the bull likely escaped as it was headed for a Newark slaughterhouse.
"He's groggy and unhappy, I'll tell you that," said Stura, adding:
"He has to go through a lot of tests now before he can get near any other animals. Make sure he's healthy and he's not got any diseases."
"And, hopefully, he dies of old age."
The bizarre scene was caught on camera, and the footage circulating online became the subject of jokes.
Amateur comedians on X (formerly Twitter) were udderly ridiculous with their bull puns.

Handlers at the animal sanctuary reportedly named the steer Ricardo.
There were no injuries.
