All eight bulls that broke free this weekend from a pen at a rodeo being held in a parking lot along Route 1 in North Attleboro, Massachusetts, have now been captured.

The bulls got out of their smaller pen, jumped over the fence and took off. One bull was caught right away, but seven others ran through traffic, by several stores, down multiple streets into the woods behind a restaurant, ultimately winding up one town over in Attleboro.

Six of the bulls were eventually corralled in Chris Mooney’s backyard on Prospect Street.

And at first, he and his kids couldn’t believe their eyes.

“As I looked out my window real quick I thought I saw a horse and I was like, why is there a horse over here, so I go out my front door and all the sudden I see six bulls coming straight down the street," Mooney said.

“At first I just felt bad for the bulls I’m like – they escaped for a reason, ya and I just wanted them to be safe," added Attleboro resident Gee Sounthonevat.

The North Attleboro Fire Department said in a Facebook post Monday night that the last remaining bull has been safely captured.

No injuries have been reported since the bulls' escape.

Authorities are still looking for an escaped bull after eight bulls broke free from a pen at a rodeo being held in a parking lot along Route 1 in North Attleboro, Massachusetts, on Sunday.
