The daring escape sent onlookers into a frenzy as the animal made a mad dash for freedom. The Houston Police Officer's Union captured the wild moment on video, posting it to social media. In the clip, the cow can be seen charging away from the rodeo, leaving a pursuer sprawled on the ground after a failed attempt to catch it. "Houston, we have a problem," the police quipped in their caption. According to the post, the runaway heifer was last spotted heading north toward Old Spanish Trail. Spectators watched in disbelief as the bovine made its getaway, hooves pounding the earth. A spokesperson for the rodeo confirmed the cow didn’t enjoy its taste of liberty for long. After just five minutes on the loose, it was corralled near the guard gate at NRG Stadium. Quick action by staff ensured the escape ended without a hitch. The representative added that no one was harmed in the fiasco. Neither humans nor bovines suffered injuries during the brief burst of chaos. Order was swiftly restored, and the rodeo carried on as usual."
