A steer that has been on the lam for nearly two months after escaping while on the way to a Rhode Island slaughterhouse was finally corralled Friday morning, police said.
警方說，一頭公牛在前往羅德島一處屠宰場途中逃跑，在逃將近2個月後，週五早上終於被抓進圍欄。
The beefy, 680-kilogram fugitive was captured unharmed in Johnston by its owner and returned to a Connecticut farm.
這頭壯碩重達680公斤的逃犯，在約翰斯頓鎮毫髮無傷被主人擄獲，回到康乃狄克州一處農場。
The steer took off Feb. 4 when a wholesaler lost control of it outside Rhode Island Beef & Veal in Johnston.
這隻公牛2月4日突然跑掉，當時一名批發商在約翰斯頓的「羅德島牛肉與小牛肉」外沒控制好牠。
Since then, it has been spotted a number of times, including by a startled Uber driver who reported seeing it during an early morning run to pick up a passenger as he was waiting for a traffic light to change. （AP）
從那時起，牠被目擊了幾次，包括一名吃驚的優步司機回報，在凌晨前往載客等交通號誌變換時看到牠。（美聯社）
