NEW YORK — Cell phone video captured a bizarre pursuit Sunday of a horse that broke free of its carriage driver.

ABC 7 reports NYPD officers pursued the horse through the streets as shocked pedestrians and drivers watched the scene unfold.

Police eventually cornered the animal, which was then retrieved by the carriage driver after some convincing with a bucket of oats.

There were no reported injuries during the incident. The horse was back to work Monday and the company thanked the NYPD for its assistance.
