First responders in North Attleboro, Massachusetts, faced an unusual challenge on Sunday when eight bulls broke free from a rodeo event at the Emerald Square Mall parking lot. The bulls charged through a crowded space, causing chaos as they knocked down fencing, collided with a tent, and made their way towards the busy U.S. Highway 1. The animals eventually veered off into nearby woods, enjoying a brief taste of freedom. Fortunately, no injuries were reported during the dramatic escape.
The North Attleboro Fire Department quickly issued a stern warning to the public, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation. “Community members should exercise extreme caution and not approach any bulls,” the department urged.
By late Sunday afternoon, seven of the eight bulls had been successfully rounded up, but one remained at large. The Festival Rodeo event at the mall was subsequently shut down as a precautionary measure. Authorities are currently investigating how the bulls managed to escape in the first place.
