JAMAICA, Queens -- A loose bull that led police and other officials on a wild chase through the New York City borough of Queens Tuesday has died.



The chase started just before 11 a.m., and officials quickly cornered it in a backyard on Marsden Street in Jamaica.



Police officers were clearing the block in the event the bull escaped again. They managed to sedate the bull using darts -- but then it broke free again.



It went on a run through the neighborhood, with police following it and trying to corner it.
