Escaped Slaughter-house Cow Runs Amok
COW WAS RECAPTURED
LUNCH HOUR SCENE IN SANDBECK AVENUE
[hidepost]
Traffic was held up, and crowds of holiday makers, returning for lunch, thronged Sandbeck Avenue yesterday (Tuesday) at about one o’clock, when a cow escaped from the slaughter house on Richmond Drive.
The cow was recaptured just before it reached the junction of Briar Way, after dragging one of the employees several hundred yards on a length of chain. The man, however, was uninjured.
The frightened animal was chained to a tree and later, when assistance arrived, was blindfolded and led back to Richmond Drive.
