A bull, running loose on the New Jersey Transit train tracks in Newark, caused delays up to 45 minutes between Newark Penn Station and Penn Station New York before being captured on Thursday.
In an update on social media, NJ Transit said that the delays were due to police activity near Newark Penn Station and shared an image of the bull on the tracks.
The transportation authority also said that the NJ Transit train tickets are being cross honored by PATH at Hoboken, Newark Penn and 33rd Street in New York.
A spokesperson of the Newark Police told USA TODAY that the bull was first spotted behind a building around 10:46 a.m., as per Newark Public Safety Director Fritz Fragé.
Members of the Newark Police Emergency Services Unit assisted the Port Authority Police Department in locating the animal and contained it inside a fenced lot.
The spokesperson said that the animal will be retrieved and safeguarded by a local animal sanctuary.
No injuries were reported, said the spokesperson.
However, the spokesperson did not specify where the bull came from.
Meanwhile, Newark Liberty International Airport advised travelers to "allow extra time" while traveling to the airport due to police activity near Newark Penn Station.
