A runaway steer stopped traffic on a major highway, hurdled over a brick wall and damaged two police vehicles during a chase that had four Arizona law enforcement agencies scrambling.  

Yuma County sheriff’s Capt. Eben Bratcher says the male bovine escaped from a livestock trailer one morning on Interstate 8 just east of Yuma in southeastern Arizona.

Police responded immediately because the steer was darting in and out of traffic.Bratcher described the scene as “chaotic” as the steer bounded over one police car and later barreled over a brick wall, knocking part of it down.

A deputy eventually was able to rope the steer from the bed of a patrol truck. Bratcher says it then proceeded to “kick the crap out of the truck.”The nimble, elusive  critter was captured  uninjured and returned to its owner.
